Model Answer
Gurmeet should keep the following points in mind to prevent virus infection:
- Install Anti-virus and Firewall: Anti-virus software monitors data coming in and out of the computer, detects, and cleans any viruses before they can affect the data.
- Run a Full System Virus Scan Regularly: As part of monthly maintenance, Gurmeet should run a full system virus scan and also check yearly that his anti-virus subscription has not expired and renew it if needed.

Explanation
- The examiner expects two distinct, named points — just listing "install antivirus" twice in different words will not fetch both marks.
- Each point should have a brief justification (one line) — that's what earns the mark, not just the heading.
- Both points are directly from the source passages, so stick to these; do not invent points like "don't download pirated software" (not in the passage).
