To avoid viruses you must not download them and execute the corrupted files. Most virus authors target those who don't have a clue or are poorly educated about the Internet or how to use a computer. Does this mean that you got a virus this means you're an idiot. No, it just means you trusted the wrong person or people. So you must create a sort of procedure about trusting people. Filters can help eliminate a lot of spam and those authors who target gullible people, recognize what can be a virus and removing it or avoiding it, using a virus scanner/remover can help get rid of viruses, and above all arm yourself with knowledge about your computer and how it works, then learn all you can about the Internet
