[QUOTE="JHomes, post: 534968, member: 53844"] Here's another one: Back up your data. What pisses me off more than anything are these people with no backups then they get an infection, then they think that there's got to be some ultimate solution, like you press one button and all of your files are restored, issue is gone. People, this doesn't exist! If you're not running a regular backup, start. Great thing (in my eyes) is that you can go different routes. Say you want to back up your computer and you want it not stored locally, you can run a disk imager like Acronis True Image and put it somewhere like external HDD, cloud storage, USB, etc. If you don't want to pay for that kind of stuff, or you just want something fast, you can go with a snapshot tool like Ax64, Comodo Time Machine, or Rollback Rx. Or you can do both! It's a free world people, you have options. Either way, come up with a plan, so the next time you get an infection because you downloaded cracked photoshop, instead of looking aimlessly around for a solution, you just restore and you're good to go. If you back up, think of all the time you save having to write a post on forums like this. You could do so much with that extra time /endrant/ [/QUOTE]
