Any social site is a malcreant’s playground … user beware!


I haven’t get any malware yet :slight_smile:
Neither avast and other security products had detected ;D

What browser do you use, person from Mauritius?
And what firewall?
(Would be a fairly good idea to include your OS info, and security setup in your signature. Like I have.)

lol right now avast 5.0(lastest one)
Zone Alarm Firewall Free
Malwarebytes Free
SuperAntiSpyware
Immunet

OS windows xp service Pack 3

And the browser?
Is SAS the free or resident version?

Em sorry the SAS is also free plus the browser is Firefox(WOT,Browser Defender,NoScript and Flashgot)

In term of protections like antimalwares I change everytime hehe ;D"

You should be fairly well set up, provided you don’t carelessly allow scripts for everything.
I used to change applications frequently. It’s a good way to learn.
Now I stick with what I know, and know that it works for me.

Yeah hope I won’t break up my pc again ;D

You could try ERUNT.
It’s a reliable registry backup utility.
I’ve seen a recommendation for those that try a lot of different software to use it. Basically it auto-backs up the registry at every start time, but you can also get it to do so manually. Then you install whatever-it-is, and if you don’t like it, or it causes problems, uninstall it, and restore the registry to a “virgin” state.
Sounds a good system to me. (Yes, I use it.)
