A strong antivrius program is definitely paramount and needed. I do agree that the best way to preventing viruses is be vigil and careful of where the download files are coming from, but I would like to add something to this. Be sure to always scan files after they are downloaded, whether they be from F95zone, or from other websites, it is crucial to scan the file just to be on the safe side. Most virus protection programs have a built in scanner option via context menu. For example, for Bitdefender right clicking on a file or folder gives the option to scan the file, there's an added feature within the context menu, firstly it will say "Bitdefender", hover over that and it will have another option that says "Scan with Bitdefender." After choosing this, this will allow you to scan a file and Bitdefender will scan for any viruses or malaware the file or folder might have. You made good points someyoungguy, and staying protected on the internet and being cautious on what you download is very important.Having a good antimalware program is important, but the most effective way to prevent getting viruses is to just not open or download files from sources you don't trust
