Some Words About Computer Security
Depending of what your PC is used for, there’s different answers. It should be protected against information theft or against malicious programs that slow down it is performance.
I do not discuss here about malicious programs and it is variety, all that is important for now is that this kind of programs do exist and that are not good( :p ) for any PC…
First of all, why should be a PC protected?
Protection:
It is not so complicate nor pricey to have a nice basic protection that could prevent 90% to 99% of bad incidents.
-First: Use licensed program (aka buy it), or use free, open source quality program. When a program is cracked it is easy to infest that program with a worm, virus, or other type of malicious program. So, again, use free or licensed program!
Personally I use tons of free program, and a nice part of it I bookmarked at: free and open source programs free and open source programs. You may check it! 
-Second and as important as first: use a firewall! With no firewall it like leaving your door unlock in a unsecure neighborhood. I learned through experience that a free firewall is nice, and that windows firewall is as nice as any other firewall.
-Your account/user (on windows or any other operating method) should be protected by a password.
-Try an anti-virus. If you do not have a process in using your computer (aka: same sites, same program), you ought to try an anti-virus. There’s tons of free for non commercial anti-viruses online. If you use same programs, and do not install new ones, if you navigate online on the same pages, if you do not open spam and unknown mails, you may try no anti-virus, but anyway a regular scan of your method is a must.
-If you use IE (personally I do not like IE) do not install ActiveX components if a web page need for it (only if you need it) and definitely user a nice anti-virus and firewall.
– Do not use DC! Perhaps only for music, but pay special attention to the file extension (not to be .exe, .com, .bat or other executable formats).
– Do not navigate on dubious sites ( xxx, and crack/serials ones)!
– When inserting new media in PC (by stick, DVD, CD, Bluetooth, or any other way), first be sure to scan for viruses that media device. Every time!!
– Use different users/accounts for games and for work. This should count a small.
So how do this programs came to be in a PC?
Ooo, there’s thousand of ways, but the most common and important ways are: by cracked program (and I must point this!), by email, through network (net), CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, and through any way of communication that a PC has.
So have a safe and smooth walking PC!
If you are very prudent, your PC should be fine.
