Malicious Mobile Code: Virus Protection for Windows (OReilly Computer Security)

In closing this chapter and book, I want to stress that the best way to protect yourself, and your personal computers against malicious mobile code is to be aware of what rogue code can do, use an antivirus scanner, close known security holes, and be aware of what runs on your computers. Malicious mobile code is not going away, and the best we can do is to manage it effectively, like any risk, and be prepared.
