Tips/Tricks/Help

Hey guys, I'm here to share some knowledge that you might not already have.

First is: "What is that stuff that messes up my computer?"

*Viruses: a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer.
*Malware: short for malicious software, is software designed to infiltrate a computer without the owner's informed consent.

Those are the basics that most people get confronted with.

Now: "How do I know if I have that junk!?"
Symptoms Include:
*Slower Computer
*Files being created/moved
*Data being edited
*Windows popping up for no reason
*Accounts being changed, passwords, ect
*Anything out of the ordinary.

Once you have identified that you have a problem you ask:

"OMG, how do i get rid of this?" or "How can I prevent this!?"
There are softwares to help:
My Favorites:
Avast:Great antivirus, high detection rate, doesn't use much CPU.

Check it out here:http://www.avast.com/

Kaspersky: Great detection rate, overall a great choice.

Panda: Not much personal experience, but it seems great!

Hope this helps, I might go more in-depth later.

Nice guide ^^

However, I suggest shrinking those images.

I think it's a good effort, as it looks original, I haven't seen that
informal sort of approach on that many sites.

Maybe the image for Panda,is a little on the large side, but overall, quite nice.
