Avoiding Spywares and Viruses

Virus problems can be such a headache and could cost you money as well. How do we avoid these spyware and viruses?
Usually it is in what we download. Know what not to download meaning, pay attention and be careful on your downloads as they are usually the one containing viruses. You can do a virus scan first before downloading if possibles.
Keep windows up to date. Though it takes time as it is very slow, it helps prevent viruses.
Freewares are often bundles with spywares, so be careful.
Also, before opening flash drives, make sure to do a virus scan.
Hope this helps to keep your computer free from virus in more years to come.
