How to Protect Your Laptop from Viruses & Malware

Most infections come from a few avoidable mistakes. Follow these to stay safe.

Use genuine antivirus

Windows Defender is good and free. Keep it turned on and let it update automatically.

Be careful with downloads & flash drives

Only download software from official sites, and scan every flash drive before opening it — USB drives are a top way viruses spread in Uganda.

Don't click suspicious links

Fake 'you've won' messages and login pages steal your accounts. When in doubt, don't click.

Back up your important files

If ransomware ever locks your PC, a backup means you lose nothing. Use an external drive or cloud storage.
