when was the last format 3 years ago?

damn, store what you need on some disx and

format the crap out of all those crapwere's

 

after that u need some kinda protection:

 

first u need a firewall!!! it's what generally keeps most

not-so-complex crap outta your system!!!

recommandations: murphy shield, black ice or zone alarm

In case yer wandering I use zone alarm and so far the comps doin' great!!

 

antiviruses!!! the progs that find,identify,delete viruses(harmfull programs than can come with an email attachment

a bogus install request or p2p downloads)

recommandations: norton av, bitdefender, rav, and if u got zone alarm security suite u also get an antivirus with it;

 

spyware/malware hunters: the progs that find,identify,delete

spyware/malware which are progs than generally wanna acces

the internet "behind your back" and send info about your pc

or do some other crap I'm not familiar with"

 

recommandations: spy sweeper and ad-aware (use both that's what I do)

 

internet browsers are those programs that... YOU HAVE TO BE flockING KIDDING ME...

recomandatios: STAY THE flock AWAY FROM IE AS IN INTERNET EXPLORER, IT'S THE VERY BEST WAY TO GET YOUR

PC INFECTED WITH LOADS OF CRAP; use Mozzila Firefox or Opera and nothing else!! If u have a slow connection you should use Opera it's faster; both are equaly safe, block popups and bogus program install requests and have downlaod managers...

 

peer to peer software are... MY FREAKIN' FINGER HURTS, YOU FIGURE IT OUT...

recs.: Bit Torrent, DC++ and KaZaa Lite

 

RULE nr.1: now, since configuration is the mother of protection, u must configure every single option in them u deem will make your PC safer!!!

RULE nr.2: update regurarly, every day if u can, so that u will be up-to-date with new bad programs and their signatures/symptomes;

RULE nr.3: Don't press yes everytime you see a window popup outta nowhere...

RULE nr.4: Don't visit www.download.com

RULE nr.5: Format every six months

RULE nr.6:GET TO WORK U HAVE ALOT TO DO!!!

 

that's all, enjoy

Indeed they are. I format only when absolutely necessary. Also, when you go to Download.com read about the program you are about to download, most freeware programs come with a crap load of spyware.

[random guy]

There can be a problem with some programs activating the internet behind your back - namely, internet explorer or windows media player can both be used to install spyware and malware undetected unless you have the security settings set high enough in ie.

well I don't exactly format every six months but I do format at least once every year...

and download.com is a piece of crap, every prog u get off there is full of spyware and viruses;

Never happened to me. Although I don't download a lot of stuff from Download.com in the first place.

If you're formatting at all for no apparent reason, then there is something seriously wrong with your security/maintainence policy.

consider using download.com as a search tool, then go get the programs at their own homepage.
