RSS FeedPC problems 'promote personal panic'
A reporter has spoken of the panic malware can inspire in a home PC user.
Writing for the Guardian, commentator Philip Plowden remarked that he first noticed their child's PC had malware when it slowed right down and "mysterious" messages began popping up.
"There is a form of panic unique to the home PC user. You realise you have no tech support hotline, that you don't know what is going on and that you are on your own," he continued.
British resource Get Safe Online urges home computer users to install a firewall on their machine to protect it from many of the virus and hacker threats the web poses.
People should use anti-virus software to combat malware that breaks through the firewall and should use programs designed to beat spyware in order to keep their PC running well, it continues.
The advice resource concludes that as well as these measures, users must be careful when browsing the web and avoid "dodgy" websites.
