"Practice Safe Computing"
The worst computer "bug" is a virus. The best way to prevent a computer virus is to scan all diskettes with antivirus software before copying anything to your computer—yes, even stuff you buy. Be especially wary of diskettes brought over by friends and f iles downloaded from the Web or online service. You can buy antivirus software in any computer store or download it off the Web. McAfee's VirusScan for Windows 95 ($65, 800/332-9966, 408/988-3832, http://www. mcafee.com) offers comprehensive virus detection, deletion, repair, and prevention. Antivirus software remains effective only if you download its monthly updates.
