1.	Solve : I am going to reinstall OS tomorrow;best way to protect my system??
Answer» I am going to reinstall OS tomorrow after facing many problems with malware and virus issues with internet ( Files are downloading automatically without my concern ) So, I REQUEST you to suggest steps I have to follow before installing and immediately after installing the OS . ( Best antivirus, best firewall,best adware..........etc ) You can suggest me anything to get rid of these malware issues. You can use Windows Firewall if you are USING XP SP2 or higher. The first thing you do: INSTALL An Antivirus program. Either Avast (www.avast.com , my personal favorite) Or AVG (http://free.avg.com/) You might also grab AVG Antispyware as well Second thing: Run Windows Update! Set Automatic Updates up as well, your COMPUTER should at some point prompt you with an ADVANCED Windows Update setup, make sure Updates install at a time when your computer is usually on. Third Thing: Your system, at this point, should be protected to a descent point.
