Keeping your self safe, to prevent keylogging, Hijacking, of your account or anything

How to keep your computer safe,

By: Bomb Squad.

Hello, and welcome to my guide on keeping your computer safe from, keyloggers, virus, trojans, & other harmful threats.

Everyday, people are browsing through the internet, downloading things that seem to have a catchy name. And, people seem not to check them? Why, is this it's because of their own stupidity! Honestly, look out for the file size, etc. And, please if your instincts tell you this is a keylogger, or contain harmful viruses don't download it. Now, lets get to my guide, shall we?

• Get Win-rar:

Why, should I download win-rar? WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRAR's main features include strong general and multimedia compression, the ability to process non-RAR archive formats, ZIP compression and decompression, support for long filenames, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), repair of damaged archives, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption. Unicode is supported in archive filenames, allowing non-English filenames to be handled painlessly. You can manipulate the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. WinRAR can convert other archive formats to RAR and search for specified text and files in archives. Also, when you're downloading something and unsure, win-rar it and go to virusjotti.org!

• Firewall Activated

A firewall is a software that only allows certain types of program to open, that means harmful things could not open; unless you allow it. Firewall, can be very useful it saves you from many things, downloading things to msn viruses people send you. And, even the mail you get in your e-mail. Also, it saves you from certain bugs onto your computer. If you are on a dial-up connection, you will not really need it.

• MSN

Msn, is very harmful these days. People, over the internet are chatting and suddenly someone envy wants to keylog you for some pixels, or even some real life money: he sends you a file to show you some pking video, or even something else. NEVER, accept anything over msn this could result into serious damages to your computer and/or even keyloggers. This, has been common in sythe.org people. They download, open the file and are keylogged. Next day, they are banned for scamming- when you really didnt. Also, read SlaveOfTheBeast's guide on how to stay safe on msn!

• Virus Scan

Always virus scam your computer, regardless if you download anything or not. You could have forgot you downloaded something, forgot to scan & you are keylogged. And, it's basically essential to - this could take 3 minutes or your computer could be filled with bull shit. Make the right choice, ok? Why, do I need to keep virus scanning? Simply, because there are new virris are arriving each day, and it's essential for you to keep scanning your computer daily, or even weekly..

• Staying up-to-date on your computer

People are being infected by many things these days due, to carelessness. Stay up to date, with everything. When, your computer has found something new to update! Always, update the patches these could save you from alot of harmful things, it only takes 2 minutes!

• Harmful Sites

There are many harmful sites on the web. You should always be careful, when you're accessing any site. If the site is well-known & trusted, then you may go in. But, always be with cautious your IP is recorded everywhere you go, & your Ip is a very delicate thing that you do not WANT TO expose. For example, Phishing sites are certain websites that obtain your username and password, eg- scamming. People, may have Paypal phishers where you enter your username & password and, then you'll be cleaned the next day. And, especially the RuneScape3 phishers; watch out for them.

• Ads

Never click on them, they could contain spyware. And could be misleading.

• Keeping your password safe!

Always! Always, keep your password safe. Hence, password it means: a secret word or expression used by authorized persons to prove their right to access, information, etc.. Now, read the definition, a secret word. Never, expose your password to anyone, it's a very dangerous situation. Always, keep your passwords 16+ characters filled with letters, & numbers.

Now, you have learned pretty much all the basics of being safe. Have-fun, and stay clean.

 

Thanks I will try to keep those things in my mind.

 

Thanks for posting this, but people who don't know these plain basics yet are bound to get scammed or hacked one way or another.

Whether they read this or not.

 

Well, it's in the community general. People are bound to read it here, but stupidity has still sunk to a new level.

 

Thank-you. I'm certainly in agreement with the MSN situation. MSN is extremely unsafe.

 

No problem, Fin. Simply, I mainly posted this because I see many people get accused of scamming; account hi-jacking. And, another reason was simply because, of the Spelhojan story.

 

Nice guide, thanks a lot. It's cool that people still do this for free..

 

I would add in this-

If you're suspicious about a certain site, go to www.siteadvisor.com and check it out, to see how McAfee rates it.

 

im still fuckign keylogegd on ym normal computer , im on my dads laptop right now i have tried evereything , im at the poitn right now where my computer restarts itself everytime i try to start it up. Its ridiculous i dont even know how to format :s

 

Thanks for this. I've had to have my computer fixed multiple times because of hackers before I came to Sythe. Now I'm more aware of things that are being sent to me etc.

 

When it comes down to it, it's plain common sense. Most people don't have it, true, but if they are dumb enough to fall for something like this, they certainly won't read a guide on how not to do it, lol.

Good efforts for trying, maybe it will help a few, but the majority of the people who read this, already know this, so it probably won't help many.

 

IM GUNNA REPORTZ U 4 STEALIN MAH THOUGHTZZ!!!!

EWWWWWW ANTI-VIRUS?! Now days a person who takes the time to educate (omfg ban me for saying the 'e' word) them selfs don't even need an anti-virus.....
