Don't panic, but maybe invest in a fire extinguisher. Just kidding again (mostly). Investigate the source of the alarm before freaking out. Check the details of the threat and see if it seems legitimate. Sometimes it's just Windows throwing a tantrum over a harmless file.
-
Quarantine the suspect! If it does seem like a real threat, isolate the file or program to prevent it from causing any further damage. Think of it as building a digital moat around the bad guy.
