Hey guys!
I am a non tech guy. So please pardon me if my question looks silly. I am currently using a windows 7 laptop. It’s a 3 year old system. Last week it got infected by some virus and malwares and I had to reinstall the OS. A few data including some photos, docs, music and game files were also lost. I have read in this cyber security blog about protection from virus and malware. I had AVG Free installed along with Malwarebytes free, but still my system was infected.
How can I give more protection to system so that It won’t be affected by malware or virus? Do you think windows defender will do a better job than AVG free? Please try to give an answer as soon as possible.
Laptop Details:
Asus
Intel Core i3
4GB Ram
1 GB Nvidia Graphics Card
If anymore details are required, please let me know.
Also, I heard that virus or malware won’t affect linux OS. Is it true?
