I’ve already said it on another thread:

99% of the time, people get viruses, trojans and malware because they were viewing porno online, or trying to get something free (software, music, video) that they would otherwise normally pay for, or open up attachments and links in an email without examining the headers.

Trying to clean up your system is pointless if you don’t fix some habits to begin with.

Actually watching porno is safe if you are on a non-windows OS. Windows is just a flawed operating system.

I received it from an email that had an executable file. If you like, send me your email address and I will forward it to you.

Thanks for the judgment and indictment.

While probably true, GOOGLE has been known to harbor trojans. Even reputable sites and reputable equipment (hard drives, etc) have occasionally been spreaders of malicious viruses and malware.



And many times, even harmless-appearing emails have viruses.

I make a living fixing people’s computers and they all say the same thing, “I don’t go to those sites” and everytime I find the cookies that show they do. I keep telling them there is no such thing as free stuff on the internet. If it’s “Free” it’s a trojan, virus or adware. But hey, I cleared $36K on computer repair alone last year so “Long Live Internet Porn!”

Ahhh...the voice of experience speaks....

You are right. I never get any spyware, viruses, trogans, or worms. How? Safe practices that all users should know.

Wow, you are a complete a$$. I’m sure I’m not the first person to tell you that.
