[QUOTE="Littlebits, post: 100687, member: 146"] If you follow these basic rules, all you will need is a good AV, secure browser and Windows Firewall. Most infection occur because users ignore Windows File Checker and UAC warnings, if the file is not digitally signed by a trusted vendor then don't run it unless you have got it from a trusted source like vendor's official website, Softpedia, MajorGeeks, FileHippo, etc. You can use your host file to block OpenCandy and other online installers that use third-party adware or use a portable version instead. HostsMan with MVPS Host block list will block OpenCandy and most of the other online installer adware. Thanks.:D [/QUOTE]
