Protecting yourself from Malicious Website-Based malware

Users when surfing the Internet bring malware into the home based networks. Email links are sent to the user to perform a client-side exploit and when clicked loads various types of malware on their systems. Install the latest security updates on a daily basis for all applications you use and keep your system free of any exploits.

Use antimalware tools from security vendors to defend yourself from these malwares. However, thse tools are only as good as the system they are protecting. A vulnerable or infected system will bring down the antimalware tool and prevent it from protecting the operating system from further infection. Upgrade your browser if you have not yet done so because today's browsers (Google chrome, Firefox,...)do warn you if the site you are visiting is a suspected malicious site.
