How to deal with a Spirus
Spirus can be stopped in his tracks if you:
- Use anti-virus software
- Regularly run virus and malware checks on your computer
- Install the patches and updates for your apps when asked
- Set secure passwords for your accounts and keep them secret
If someone you don’t know sends you a website link, tell a parent, carer, teacher or trusted adult. It’s best not to open links from people you don’t know.
