| 475042 | 2006-08-01 02:05:00 | Ok, how would I identify the source? The source of most viruses and spyware include but are not restricted to emails, surfing dodgy websites (eg game cheat sites, porn and gambling sites, etc etc) with an insecure OS and browser and clicking on popups or "subscribing" to view restricted pages and downloading and running files from websites. Securing your OS and browser, using anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, avoiding dodgy websites and using a lot of commonsense whilst browsing goes a long way to preventing infections. This section (faqf1.net.nz) of the FAQs might be of some help. |

It's vitally important to keep your system clean . . . not just for your own security, but so that you don't pollute everyone else on the internet . Frustating as it might have seemed in an answer or two to your request, there are reasons why people get upset at others who don't take security seriously . It hurts everyone else in the world if you are spewing garbage and redirecting pronography, kiddie porn and laundering money for drug cartels . . . . a little extreem possibly, but not entirely improbable . You should be incensed that there is pornography and spam and malware running around in naked computers . . . they harm everyone . This is the reason for a certain . . . how can I say? . . . . acerbic response to what seems like a non-chalant view by yourself to a very pressing need . Please take the seriousness of the situation under advisement, and try to secure your own machine to keep all of the www running better . Get anti-stuff of your own . . . there are many discussions and raves about what's good, bad, better, best as far as security programs are concerned . Come back and ask . . . it will be worth it . |
