                     It’s important to install antivirus software on your computer. An antivirus is a
                    program  designed  to  protect  your  system from  viruses. Some of  the  most

                    commonly used antivirus software are Quick Heal, Norton, McAfee, etc.

                    know  online. Carefully choose your  online
                    connections and talk to your parents before
                    starting new friendships.
