The user's personal computer can catch the virus through: e-mail, USB-stick, various websites, etc. The user should not open various emails that come to his mail, especially from those resources that you do not visit at all. In addition, even if you have opened such a letter, you do not need to download any file attached to the letter, since, most likely, it will contain a virus.
USB sticks are the most popular way of spreading viruses. The fact is that not always a USB flash drive can be installed in a computer that is not infected with a virus. Naturally, malicious software penetrates the media, and if the flash drive is not checked by the antivirus, the virus will get to another computer. As for various suspicious sites, most often browsers and antivirus software automatically block such resources so that the user does not visit them and, naturally, does not infect his computer. People who ignore such warnings may regret what they did, as the virus will definitely get on their computer.
In order not to catch a virus or some other malicious software, you need to follow the above tips and also use dedicated antivirus software. Fortunately, today there are quite a few of them, and each user will be able to choose the most optimal option for himself.
