honestly the biggest complaints i hear about windows h8ters and mac users "MACS DON'T GET VIRUSES".... guess what neither do windows users who aren't retards!
seriously i can't even tell you the last time i was infected by anything... people who get infected either click on random BS ads/popups or download random BS.
my checklist for windows users:
- 2+gb of ram (needed to cover all resources needed)
- firefox (faster and better than IE (don't try to delete IE either))
- AVG free (yes its free and it works fine; actually no difference between free/corp edition); keep it up to date w/ automatic updates/scans
- Malewarebytes (you have to pay for or get a key (Spybot is a good substitution for this; except teatimer app can be a resource hog)); keep up to date w/ automatic updates/scans
- make sure you show all file extensions in windows
- unless you are downloading from a large reputable source like microsoft, adobe, pc manufacture (ie. dell, hp), etc... scan all exe w/ avg before opening.
- do not download media from the web (movies, music, software)
- when installing software do custom setup and make sure you don't install any unneeded toolbars, applications bundled w/ the program you need
you do the above you probably just knocked your chances to getting anything down quite a bit. even i've picked up stuff surfing but it hasn't been anything my software couldn't catch/clean.
IF YOU HAVE A PC AND YOUR ON THE INTERNET W/O A GOOD VIRUS/SPAM PROTECTION ITS LIKE FUCKING AN AIDS PATIENT W/O A CONDOM!
