[quote=@M127] I've got 2 question to the universe, and don't know which is right. [list][*]How does everyone manage to get malware on their computer?(at purchase preinstalled bloatware excluded, if someone includes bloatware in malware) [*]How do I manage to NEVER get malware onto my computers?[/list] [/quote] 1) I've been using the internet for over seventeen years, so I've run into a lot of viruses, malware, and the like. I haven't had a virus like this in a few years (and it got defeated in less than four days with no long-lasting damage to my security or computer); its really not a big deal. As for how the average person gets malware? Ads, misleading links, illegal downloading, etc. 2) A combination of luck and paranoia.
