mountaintree16 Posted September 20, 2009 ID:129982 Share Posted September 20, 2009 @ MonaI found that out about pop-out windows earlier this year. It's easy to think you should just click the red X but nope this is not the case!Thankfully these are few and far between due to built-in browser pop ups, but you still get em once in a while.

mountaintree16 Posted September 20, 2009 ID:129983 Share Posted September 20, 2009 @ Exile re the networking sites comment,Yep, this certainly is a big way to get infected I have all but stopped using Myspace, as I have discovered that it is not nearly as secure as Facebook, which I also use :/ I basically don't use any applications, though (just two, which I hardly use, so I should just get rid of those too) and I have told anyone that will listen to avoid clicking ANY links that people post, especially fishy looking ones, and I have also told them to be extremely careful when using applications... I hope they listen! I am very careful on Facebook I wont' touch Twitter, to be honest. I do check the MBAM twitter though, once in a while Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile360 Posted September 21, 2009 ID:130350 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Absolute must to get infected, My favorite has always beenUse filesharing programs to get a good security softwareYes, I love how in the top 10 google results when you search for a specific paid AV software that there will almost always be listings for "cracked" or "incl. keygen" etc. What they don't tell you is that it also INCLUDES TROJAN and won't detect it because it's been whitelisted before you install it .

YoKenny1 Posted September 21, 2009 ID:130402 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I use Panda USB Vaccine and Flash Disinfector by sUBsThey are both good but Avira detects Flash_Disinfector as malware and removes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny1 Posted September 21, 2009 ID:130481 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I do believe in Layered ProtectionWhen this topic will come to an end is when there are no more ways malware purveyors find to distribute their wares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Tech1 Posted September 21, 2009 ID:130714 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I agree!I got all my virus from all those ways. Virus, Malware, Spyware, Trojan and the other harmful things. They destroyed and killed my laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwitsend99 Posted September 21, 2009 ID:130795 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Another thing to avoid: closing a pop-up/window by clicking the red XI was told and taught to always close windows/pop-ups by using Alt + F4, which I still always practise. Thank you Mona, I believe you just told me, how I got infected. Your tip is now making the rounds among my family and friend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
