Are you protected by powerfull malware protection?, anti keylogging?, rootkit detection?, spyware detection?, adware detection?. If your answer is no to any of these questions you could be at risk!. The risks include crashing system, browser redirects,stollen private information such as bank details and gasp gamespot accounts password and username.So what are the threats?, well they include, trojans,virus,worms,keyloggers,screen catchers, ,adware,spyware,bots, rootkits and bootkits.PC defense should be your number one priority, but the question is how exactly are you going to protect your PC?, well i can help, for one you will need a powerfull internet security suit, but there are so many which one should i choose?, well Norton internet security always comes out on top in proffesional security tests, there is also comodo internet security, another good suite. These security suites use real time protection, meaning they scan your computer all the time, but what if my security suite does not detect certain malware which others do?, well you will need an on demand scanner, remember two realtime scanners affect eachother. Here is a list of all the on demand scanners you will need- go to the link and download, they are all free-

Super antispyware-

You are now on the path to greater security and peace of mind.

Some questions-

What internet security are you currently using?

Do you feel secure?

Did you buy your internet security?, very important that you do

Better advice: Don't use the internet.

I'd amend your signature text if you're going to be giving us advice.

I don't use any anti spyware or any security programs and i rarely, RARELY have problems. The only time i ever had a problem was when my friends steam account was hacked and someone pretended to be him sending me to a link. Other than that i have no reason to ever be afraid of security or virus issues.

All that security software for computers feels like a scam to me, even the free ones. hehe Havn't used any for like ten years, if I ever feel like there's a problem I'll just reformat and that doesn't happen more than once a year.
