RE: How to keep your computer clean of anything that can steal your private key or privacy-Malwarebytes

in #anti7 years ago

Yes, I am using Quick Heal antivirus which has inbuilt Amit Malware option. And also browser sandbox option which is quite secure as well.
Indeed a good informational post on security.

Sort:  

I use my PC online since years and NEVER had any issues, although I must say, I am also going to some "dark" sites (you know what I mean... free software, and other).

My recipe is simple:

  • never CLICK A LINK I am not so sure of,
  • never INSTALL anything I did not intended to
  • never INSTALL anything "additional"
  • always look in the address bar to see if the site I'm on it its really the one I intended to be (ie gNail instead of gMail
  • use ADD BLOCKER that keeps the popups out of my way
  • never give CREDIT CARD to sites not being https (secure) and having valid certificate; use PayPal instead
  • do a WHO IS on ecomm sites (this helped me few days ago to be safe - there was a site from Germany, posing very legit, with good prices on electronics, but: registered in Panama, only a 2 weeks old, registrant name undisclosed, and they posted a TUV certificate of quality, but the TUV agency stated on their site that this e-comm site is not registered with them at all)

All common sense I might add.

I do have a simple antivirus, nothing too complicated because I believe slows down the computer if it interfere too much.

Stay safe!

interesting and easy.thanks for sharing

Always glad to help my fellows steemians :)

@amiramnoam, you sure "killed" this post.

I am always afraid using any kind of anti-malware software as I have heard earlier that they themselves act as malware pop-ups and leads to system shutdown. Recently, my system was badly infected with virus and my antivirus software was not able to recover it. Then my friend introduced me to malwarebytes software and after installation, i ran a full-scan and since then my system is performing nicely. Malwarebytes is awesome. Thanks for this post.
