(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello, NGU.
I want to give you some tips how to keep your pc safe & secure.
Here is a list of things you should have!

  • Anti-Virus software.
  • A good firewall.
  • Use a pop-up blocker on your browser.
  • Use a version of ActiveX on your browser.
  • Updated version of windows. (They patch security issues)
  • All available Microsoft security.

The first thing I want to talk about is Anti-Virus software; Anti-Virus software is made to detect harmful files on your pc.
Do not download a pirated version of the software, this is just silly.
Pay for it.
A good firewall is the key to stopping any key loggers / R.A.T’s from getting internet connection.
Therefore giving you the time to deal with the file and get it off your pc!
Enabling pop-up blocker on your browser is basically due to the fact you only go onto the site you choose too.
Now ActiveX
What is ActiveX? : ActiveX disables java from all new sites to your browser, which stops a drive-by from succeeding.
How do I get ActiveX? : ActiveX is an add-on to any browser, you will find it!

Update you windows as soon as a update comes out, every update has a security patch.
Most patches are made before anybody finds them.

Get all available Microsoft security, there products are very helpful and trustworthy.

My recommendations:


thanks for reading!

Also, make sure you NEVER go on a forum dumb enough to enable its admins and its other members to download a keylogger and get their entire database stolen.

Get Malwarebytes pro, along with Avast(Free or paid) as long as you don't download keyloggers you're good. If you want real security, download Tor project.
