[QUOTE="BJ Security, post: 1121999, member: 121736"] Hello! My name is BJ Security. I am new to cybersecurity. I am from the Philippines. I hope this forum would help me understand how Antiviruses work, how to protect myself from internet threats, how to setup a good privacy settings for any browsers, and how to completely secure an account. My google account is secured with "Advanced Protection Program", in case, someone can't gain access. For me, I setup a good privacy settings on chrome. I do not do anything dumb in the internet. I do not pirate anything in the internet instead, stay away from: - Questionable websites - Sketchy websites - Pirated websites - Torrent websites Additionally: - I do not ever click on any malicious links or attachments - I do not ever download any Archives (cause it could be an Infostealer) - I do not ever click on the "Blue highlighted" texts (these is where hidden links hides that redirect you to random, malicious or phishing page) All what I'm doing, is watching on Youtube about how effective most AVs can protect against threats, what will happen if any major threats (like ransomware or infostealer) have been executed in the VM, how do I protect myself from these terrible threats, what security tools should I use, what malware analysis would recommend as a cybersecurity, etc. I also read most articles from: - Forbes - BleepingComputer - Others I do have web tools (like Virustotal, Bitwarden, ScamAdviser, etc.). Anyway, the only thing I can protect my pc from threats, is Windows Defender w/ DefenderUI Pro (set to "Aggressive Profile", everything enabled, and WDAC Enforced) and use common sense. [/QUOTE]
