Good computer hygiene
- - Never install any Norton products under any circumstances.
- - Do not reinstall Samsung SW Update or Support Center. They are at war with Windows.
- - Never, never, never say yes to any offers to scan your computer that come from a website!
- If you are anxious, carefully close all windows, apps, and programs, then run a full scan with Windows Defender.
