Keeping your PC safe

[master_me]

I'll be entirely honest, I haven't had a firewall set up since I last reinstalled Windows XP in September. I've had this computer since mid 2005 and haven't once been the target of any harmful viruses. Of course, a lot of the time I am running Linux and not XP.

Still, with that said, I'll have the hackers all over me.

if you for some reason dont have a good anti virus / spyware running on your system... do not recklessly surf shady sites. pr0n, warez, serials... i dl some keygens but only from certain places (i like the music ^^)

i was trying to find a serial for some program i dl'd this past year and i got some sort of nasty virus thing on my computer that would display this message saying i needed virus protection and it would link me to this kind of fake antivirus program... took me a good 2-3 hours of googling to finally find a fix.
