PRACTICE SAFE HEX
 
*    Acquire software only from trusted sources.
     In particular, never insert a diskette without
     the manufacturer's seal, never use a program
     borrowed from someone "with poor computer
     hygiene," don't execute programs received
     through mail, don't let employees bring
     software from home, and beware of public
     bulletin-board software.
 
*    Scan and monitor for viral activity
     regularly.  In particular, purchase anti-viral
     programs, but beware of them, too, and
     monitor last-modified dates of files.
 
*    Backup often and systematically.
