if you're going to keep on visiting sites that give viruses, buy yourself a second cheap computer that can be trashed and rebuilt when ever you want. Use that one.
Keep a clean computer for all your important, sterile stuff. And please never, ever send emails to people from the trash computer, including images and files etc. . There's a very very high chance that your emails will infect others and this is how peoples details get onto the dark web.

Thanks jd
But how do you know what sites have the viruses? What is a good bug stopper? XX to Mr phoenix.

Yep. Every year at work, every employee world wide had to do IT security training.
And then the IT security team would randomly send out traps.
If you fell for it, you'd have to do a more intensive IT security training course. A lot of people did.... just busy at work and you get a legit looking email. Click on the link which opens up a IT training course. Stung!
These days, with all the ID theft and such, you even have to be very careful about emails from friends (aka crims masquerading as friends)..... just look at the Petel's example.
We have a few ex customers we had to block because they were infected, most were Apple users and denied they were infected, and Apple products couldn't be infected .... gave up and simply blocked them.
Avira is a good one, Malware bits is a must have and apparently the latest Windows defender is good ... but you have to have the auto updates turned on and do regular virus scans to have them quarantined and deleted if known to be a genuine virus and not something the virus protection look suspicious.

Apple’s immunity to bugs was a myth which developed in the very early days of the Macintosh one-box computer, (released in 1984) until some smartar$e figured out how to hack into the OS. It took a while for the knowledge to spread, so early on there were very few Apple viruses.
Now they’re as common as Windows viruses.
“Apple Virus Immunity” hasn’t been true since mid-1985, but the myth persists for some people.
