Helpers Guide To Combating Virus's, Malware And Other Harmfull Things

[Helper]

1. First Of All Having More Than One Virus Protecter doesent give you double protection, Its The Opposite actually, The Two Virus Protectors Conflict Making It Hard For Them To Find Viruses/Malware, So If You Have More Than One Keep The Best One You Have

 

2.Test If Your Virus/Malware Scanner Is Working By Downloading A Test File

Verify that your virus scanner is working

The Above Link Has A Test File On It, Alfter Downloading It, Scan Your Computer In The Place Where You Put It.

 

3.The Internet Is A Fun Place And Should Be But Many People Use It To Steal ID, So Becarfull What You Post

 

4.Becarfull What You Download, If You Have Firefox I Suggest You Download WOT, Web Of Trust, This Add On Add's The Traffic Light System Next To Each Website Link, Telling You If Its A Trusted, Childfriendly, Realiabillity And Privacy It Can Be Found At: Firefox addon | WOT Web of Trust,

It Also Works On IE.

 

5.Buying From The Internet, It Is Very Safe If Your On The Right Sites,

How Do I Look For Good Sites That Have Been Verified??, Look For Verified Signs Usally Showed In The Logo Of The Adress Bar, And Somtimes On The Website, But Watchout! These Signs Can Be Placed On Bad Sites Without The Verify's Consent,

 

Best Tip: Stick To Sites You Know And Trust, Like Amazon,Ebay

Yes, Somtimes You Will Get The Odd Scammer Who Wont Send You Your Product6, But Because Its Done By Paypal, They Will Refund You, If You Use Another Pay System, I Not Sure, I Only Use PayPal,

The above statement is incorrect.It is not always the case that two AV,s will conflict it is usaly advised they may conflict and allow viruses in.

 

 

I Only Use PayPal,

 

PayPal can also be an issue with payments and getting your money back.

 

PayPal is not always safe and secure.

 

I often use direct payment to such places as Amazon,Play.com,HMV.I have had no issues on payments/getting my money back using direct debit payment methods.

 

The issue is realy those who sell on sites such as eBay and Play.com as examples.The sellers who use these sites can be dodgey but most are good honest people.

 

It is called common sence and always read sellers reviews.

 

I think you need to read up on this sort of thing and post more informative information.
