trojans and firwall
« on: May 24, 2012, 09:51:12 AM »
I had a security breach on my PC it disabled Microsoft essentials and firwall and started running a bogus security program on my desktop :old:

I was using IE at the time nothing dodgy and it started running :old:

Yes, even after you turn down all the options, and turn up the security which make browsing horrible, it is still horrible.

Use either firefox or chrome WITH noscript addon. Then enable site scripts one by one only if something doesn't work and you must get it to work (i.e. flash game, login script or something). Better yet if you can skip flash alltogether you're better off. But then you'd need to search for html5 pr0n sites.

Without noscript you get all kinds of nasty popups and adverts which are often loaded with malware. With noscript - wonderful browsing peace. Added bonus is that pages actually load much faster without all the junk.

lol, i love all b.s. about i.e. i've been using i.e. for years without a single infection. no web browser is 100% safe.

firefox is a memory leak looking for a place to pollute. without no-script firefox is weaker than i.e.

chrome is ok if you don't mind google tracking...and, you're going to want to install notscripts if you want to be protected from those nasty scripts.

there is a chrome knock off called comodo dragon that is supposed to be more secure than any of them but...ya never know, i haven't really pushed it to find out.


Zack, you might want to find a better anti-virus/malware solution than microsoft security essentials.

I am about tired of all the crashing with Firefox lately. I hate to say it but Chrome is probably going to supplant Firefox for me in about 10 minutes.

most likely you already had a virus and it removed your passwords so you would enter them again.  easier to keylog that way.  You will have to reinstall your os to get rid of everything.  save what you need to a cd and start all over.
