Viruses? Effectively there aren't any.


Malware? Try not to download anything you don't 100% trust. I have never encountered any malware on my computer. If you should encounter some:


Malwarebytes - There are different versions available depending upon what features you want. For a single removal without ongoing monitoring you can probably use the free version.
