[Year 12 SofDev] PHP webServer Viruses

[Victoria Farrell]

Hi everyone,

I am doing an online course in PHP and my school gave me a separate laptop
to run XAMP on and to do the exercises.

I have had two viruses and both times had to have my laptop taken away and
killed with fire and returned to me with all my stuff removed. I've had to
reinstall XAMP and Notepad++ etc and start again.

Can anyone tell me the best way to keep your machine secure while running
XAMP? If I am getting students to use their own computers, I don't want
this happening over and over.

Desperate for a light at the end of the PHP recurring tunnel,
Vic
