[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 712605, member: 37647"] You will be safe, as long as you do a few basic things. 1 Use a secure version of Windows, such as Windows 7 and up. The higher the number, the better. 2 Use a safe browser, such as Chrome or Edge or Firefox. There are others, but these are a few good ones. 3 Keep Windows and your software updated. Forget about replacing your motherboard or processor, in most cases it means getting a whole new computer. It's not worth it, because no hacker is going to spend time and money to target you with that kind of advanced attack. They are going after high-profile targets. And most important, be an intelligent computer user. Don't click on things that promise easy money, or try to scare you. Don't open email attachments unless you are sure they are legit. If in doubt, ask the sender. It is common for people you know to lose control of their email account, and you will get spammy or malicious email from their address. So always stay aware. I see that [USER=2291]@BoraMurdar[/USER] already answered you. Follow his advice! [/QUOTE]
