Thanks Kristin, I will definitely have to set this on up. May need you assistance with it thou not sure where I would find it on either my HP windows 7 or 8.1.

1) Don't use an "administrator" account with full privileges when using your computer. Set up an administrator account and a general user account with limited access. Use the general user account.

This prevents almost all automatic downloads and installations. If something wants to be installed, a box pops up requiring the administrator's password.

Everyone: Please continue to add any other helpful tips !!
