    Hammerburst's guide on how too protect your computer.

    This guide will be split up into 2-parts.
    1,How to get a FREE Anti-virus program/Run a virus scan
    2,Keeping your computer safe/How to spot keylogger(s)/Things too note!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    1.How to get a FREE Anti-virus program/Run a virus scan:
    Open up your internet browser and go too the following-website:
    [​IMG]
    Once you are at malwarebytes.org you should see a square blue button that says: "Free Download":
    [​IMG]
    After you've downloaded and installed MalwareBytes,We are now going too run a scan with MalwareBytes..
    First,
    Start off by running MalwareBytes,then It's up too YOU if you want too run a full scan or a quick scan,If you even think your computer has a virus,run a full-scan before it's too late. So let's say we are going too run a full-scan.
    Now,
    Click the "full-scan" circle then click "Scan"
    [​IMG].
    Now during the full-scan,you may experience some very-minor lag if you're playing a online game. So I'd recommend running a full-virus scan then go do something productive :cool:...Now after the virus scan is done if the scan has found any viruses it should automatically delete/remove them.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    2.Keeping your computer safe/How to spot keylogger(s)/Things too note!
    Okay so,let's say you like too "download" alot of things aka torrents,hacks etc etc etc or any download in particular. If you think the download is un-safe,Scan it with malwarebytes!(Picture will come in a bit)In all honesty,most of viruses are from torrents/things I didn't even think of that had viruses,I even found my MP3 to AVI converter (Or something like that) had a trojan horse infected in the file. Another way too keep your computer safe is too....Hover that's right hover!
    Okay so...lalalalala one day you check you're email and it it looks a little funny and you're not too sure about it..well..let's see if it's legit.
    First thing first,People CAN fake e-mail address. So just because the e-mail address looks legit.
    Here is a prime-example of a fake/almost "realistic" looking e-mail from Blizzard (The people who make worldofwarcraft etc etc)
    [​IMG]
    By me hovering over this e-mail link that said "worldofwarcraft.com" if you click it it really re-directs you too a phising site..(Funny thing is my WoW account got hacked,and when blizzard got done with the investigation,I got my account back and got TON of phising emails. It was funny)Remember too always HOVER over every link..that look like this:sythe.org (This is a just test,and it does NOT re-direct you too a phising site,hover and see!)
    Things too note:
    Don't get over-paranoid over your computer's security(Like running virus scans every 4 hours
    Don't get two anti-virus programs as they will just head-butt into each-other.
    If you feel the need too change the passwords too certain accounts of certain websites,then go ahead and do so. Changing your password monthly can help prevent hackers,and it'll give you that little extra strength of security
    I have heard things of trojans being contained in flash ADs on websites but that was just a rumor I heard.
    (There WILL be alot more of information/tips atleast by tomorrow-night!)
    (Also if there is any spelling-errors I'm very sorry,as it's almost 5 AM and..I'm dead tired!,And please give me feed-back and CC! And yes I do know there are about 2 other threads that kinda have the similar thread but,they seemed kinda dead,and my includes a little bit more info,Or at least I think so.)
