P2P - Filesharing / Re: Be careful of what you download.
« on: August 13, 2008, 03:25:31 am »
I completely agree with fuzzy
Do scan any zipped files that you have downloaded. ([ZiP, RAR are thoe most widely used formats])
What i would suggest is :
1.) Use a good AV and Firewall program. You can use Kaspersky instead of Norton as that is the best Internet security program I have come across and have been using since past 3 years.
You can also use ZoneAlarm as your firewall.
2.) Use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
I have seen my IE crashing a lot of times and even slowing down my system as it is more vulnerable.
To increase the Firefox security you can use an Add-on called WOT(Web Of Trust) Which will alert you of websites that you should not visit(Malware an stuff).
3.)Use a pop-up blocker as some warez sites open pop-ups that have adware or even trojans.
Do ask for any help if needed.
