[QUOTE="LabZero, post: 377354"] Hello. Here are the most common ways to infect your PC. -Disable UAC "User Account Control" is the system that Windows we warn if a program tries to make potentially dangerous changes, to run with administrative privileges. Disabling it will not receive any notification, even if the program in question is dangerous. [ATTACH=full]55370[/ATTACH] -Wild download A big mistake is to download what we find around without asking ourselves questions. Unless we make sure that the source of a file is the site or an official mirror, expect that in the downloaded file there is at least unexpected advertising or more likely spyware. [ATTACH=full]55372[/ATTACH] -Piracy, crack If you download illegal and pirated software the files are full of malware. -Shortened Links Links shortened (shortlink) have increased their popularity thanks to social networks like Facebook or Twitter. The problem is that a shortened URL is perfect for hide a danger. [ATTACH=full]55375[/ATTACH] -Surf with admin privileges There are a lot of malware and other threats that just don't work if you're using a standard account on your PC. The best thing to do then is use the administrator only when it is strictly necessary, and carry out their daily activities with a single user account. [ATTACH=full]55379[/ATTACH] -Always use the same password For each site that attend, need to register by choosing a user name and password. The problem is that many of us use the same combination anywhere, so if anyone finds out the password that we put on a subsite and unsafe, will also have that e-mail, and maybe the bank account. Also use passwords easy to remember, and then to guess, it is not a good idea. [ATTACH=full]55380[/ATTACH] -Do not use an antivirus So you become easy targets, because even those with safer habits might run into a site that has been compromised. [ATTACH=full]55381[/ATTACH] And finally ... don't go on MalwareTips!! :):D [/QUOTE]
