Go to a bad site: 11339 Try to Download Something that's got a "nice surprise" embedded :devil 11340 |

| 1487040 | 2022-06-28 06:53:00 | Adding to above, this is what you get if you visit a "Suspect" Site = Suspect can mean several different things ;) 11341 |

| 1487041 | 2022-06-28 18:38:00 | Thank you, Wainui. I ran the tests and each one brought up a warning so I know that I am protected, It's great to have that peace of mind. I have passed that on to a couple of friends who I'm certain will also appreciate it. :thanks |

| 1487042 | 2022-06-28 22:48:00 | I tried that sites(above) browser tests on a PC that doesnt have ESET Firefox still blocked those Browser tests regardless :) ESET also has Intrusion Protection (HIPS) . its sort of an anti hacker module . eg it blocks hackers from open RDC on PC's . And good AV also has better anti Crypto/ransonmware protection than Win defender |

| 1487043 | 2022-06-28 22:53:00 | www.youtube.com This Youtube channel has interesting info on Firewall, AV he steps through analysis of the working of some malware , and tests how well popular AV blocks malware/crypto/ransomware . he also shows how malware tries to disable AV (can be as simple as the malware rebooting into safe mode) Windows defender doesnt look that good from his tests and analysys |

I have passed that on to a couple of friends who I'm certain will also appreciate it. :thanksDepending on the Sites, some browsers will stop potential infections, But there's a LOT that don't get stopped either, hence the need for a Active AV. :):2cents: |

| 1487045 | 2022-07-13 13:51:00 | A million years ago, having a software firewall on my computer was the only reason I found I had a keylogger, when it tried to phone home. That was when I decided to always use a firewall, and also when I ditched Norton AV. I was an idiot back then and fell for the marketing... |

| 1487047 | 2022-07-27 12:36:00 | Yes it was but I posted it first and you copied and posted as if you originated the fix or info. It was your first post and you were already poaching and now 2nd post defending your action. |
