[QUOTE="Practical Response, post: 1080071, member: 109138"] I do believe it's being widely over looked the part where I stated being diligent about checking executables ect via uploading to virus total, and verifying website addresses ect was mentioned not just backups. Here it seems the answer is always, pile more security products on it, makes one wonder if a commission is not taking place at times, or if users have really gotten so used to convenience they have become lazy. As seen in threads like this one, spending $80 on product a,b,or c is not the best solution either, they are all not infallible. Between bugs, exploits, and newer malware they can all have their bad days. Thread 'The Zone Alarm challenge.' [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/the-zone-alarm-challenge.129801/"]App Review - The Zone Alarm challenge.[/URL] So instead of users jumping in threads with scare tactics, of how malware will just magically bypass routes of infection and nail everyone, how about we get from these knowledgeable users that all claim we are doomed, a viable solution instead. If learning tangible habits, creating contingency plans with system images and backs also is not a good method to keep average users safe, please share with us a way too. I should state this reply here is in general to a few comments not directed at this new user as much. [/QUOTE]
