The three steps that should be taken to prevent virus infections are:

  1. Never open files or links on a site or an e-mail from an unknown or suspicious source.
    Explanation: Opening files or links from unknown or suspicious sources can lead to downloading malware or viruses onto your device. This is a common method used by cybercriminals to infect systems.

  2. Never download files from unknown sources, including free software.
    Explanation: Downloading files from untrusted or unknown sources can introduce viruses or malicious software to your device. Free software from unreliable sources is often used to distribute malware.

  3. Reading the security awareness articles in the BSMH Weekly Pulse for Cybersecurity tips and alerts.
