@CrewRite Macs can get viruses but because there are so little viruses Apple can shut them down quickly. Currently if your Mac is up-to-date there is no malware that can affect it.

The easiest thing you can do not visit porn and pirate movies/software. Or pirate norton. Just wanted to say though most viruses are fully undetectable by ANY AV program
@FraeStudios Anyways, your original comment did not even have proper punctuation, and your reply is a run-on sentence.. Let's find out why "you are retarded". 1)(Most Viruses are fully undetectable) - Nope.avi, if you are using MalWare Bytes and/or something like Security Essentials, you will detect 99.9% of viruses. 2)(Easiest Thing to do is not to Visit Porn, pirate) - LOL! The easiest thing you can do is not to use the internet at all, malware can be ANYWHERE! *Continued on next reply.
@FraeStudios Hmm, okay, let's name some programs that are FREE and BETTER: AVG, avast, security essentials, comodo antivir, avira, panda, immunent, and more. Retards pay for it, retards steal it.
A new variation of what Chris has described is going around Australia at the moment. It pretends to be a package tracker for Australia Post. The email sender will appear as Australia Post and will seem legitimate. It tell you to unzip an archive to track your package, Telling you the .exe inside the package is an application to track your package.
avast is free but it's horrible at malware removal. it took it a week for it to find a fake virus protection that autoinstalled on my computer, and when it finally removed it, it removed all file associations on my computer.
Avoiding getting infected by malware is very difficult to do. Infections are almost everywhere. On websites that you trust even. Not just porn sites and crap.
I get a ton of scam mail in my email. I mark it all as spam. I keep getting letters pretending to be from blizzard saying that my battlenet account has been doing strange things or offers for WoW items but i gotta click links to get it, though i don't even have a battlenet or WoW account... If i did it sure wouldn't be the email address they send it to lol. When i hover my mouse above the links they provide it becomes obvious it's not a blizzard domain.
@amilom007 FAIL - Linux is open-source , ANY open-source OS is immortal for any type of malware attacks because code is OPEN to everyone, and also everyone can review it.
@crogeek Because it's OPEN it also makes it easier to know where it's weaknesses are and how to more easily exploit them. They're just usually patched quickly because thousands contribute to the code rather than a comparatively small team on proprietary OS's.
@crogeek yes and? Open source doesn't mean "secure". Android (Linux on smartphones) is a good example on what happens when a version of Linux gets uses by millions. Everything from malware in Android Market to keyloggers that keylog everything you type and send it to the phisher or scammer. You got to admit that Linux is not as secure as every Linux lovers claim. It's not used by many compared to Windows and Mac OS X, so malware makers go for the Windows and Mac OSX (mostly Windows).
@xxluvkinz89xx So what? - Windows Updates and Apple updates are slow, compared to Android incoming patches. That's difference, secondly - open-source is indeed more safer than closed-source software. That's damn fact which nobody can deny.
@crogeek You posted the same comment a while ago lol. First, remember that Windows and Apple has many more users no wonder it gets slower to send updates to everyone (just some hours). Well then explain why more and more people gets infected on Android compared to for instance, Apple iOS. iOS is very limited, but that has a good side too. Which is not accepting malware in App Store and the source code is extremely limited because of the UNIX-like variant they used. That's a fact nobody can deny.
@xxluvkinz89xx And also fact which nobody can deny that Apple and M$ OS-es are built on Unix principles. And Unix is from beginning under GPL = open-source. Stealing which something was before free is also a crime - but who cares for that anyway?
@crogeek Linux is free that's true, but nothing more in my opinion. Linux is only useful for servers, in my opinion. Yes Microsoft and Apple are business companies, they earn money. It's called a job for people. Saying that they took something free, and made it useful for non-computer experts is a good thing.

Desktop wise, nope, not used all that much, but it's as much to do with how it's built as it is the number of people using it.
@KawinTantisiriwat It's a bug with YouTube. They've been having a problem with the publishing system that shows stuff in your sub box. Kind of annoying because I suddenly got about 40 videos in my sub box I'd not seen that were uploaded days ago and never saw.
@Kerns0Phoegon less people attack it, as it has no market share, and whenever a Linux distro executes a file, it tells you and wants you to enter a password.
Well if you are going to use that PW thing, that's laughable honestly.. Windows 7 + (soon, maybe not so soon to come windows 8), and Windows Vista (it's more beh about it) use UAC, that would prevent 'most' software from installing/running if it touches key things.
That also said, Windows has some free and GREAT software (Microsoft security essentials, teamed with Comodo products) and you would have to be a moron to really do what's needed to infect the system.
@Kerns0Phoegon people who do get affected by this don't know about malware bytes, avast, comodo or other things. besides people just install things, and ignore the uac, which is like Linux, but not.
It's similar enough to make a fair comparison, though they are completely different.
Though you do speak the truth, but then it's not the OS fault so much as it the users fault for being stupid. I do wish users to be educated no matter the system they are on, but with respect it'd be good for people to stop using morons as a base line for windows users and windows security.
If you want to see some grade S Computer moron, search (steam + Mac) and you'll see some funny stupids.
@Kerns0Phoegon yeah it's not the OS's fault for phishing scams, and always the end users. If they don't to get their info to get stolen, they should learn. thanks for the funnys. :)
@Kerns0Phoegon Not everybody is that computer savvy sadly. Even the most secure OS ever made is still at risk because of the person using it. That's the weakest link in any security system. Designing better more logical and easy to understand interfaces and dialogue boxes with things written in real world every day language does as much for security as having the equivalent of Fort Knox protecting the system, because people will be more informed about what's going on and less confused.
Mac OS can be infected, true it won't be the same files that launch, but Macs are not immune to viruses at all, and they are soon to be targets because mac users are getting to full of them selves and thinking they are immune to things.
@lockergnome I'll tell ya what I did at 13 years old to get the CC's if you want to know, too much to type here. Skype? Let me know, I'm a big 22 year old nerd now. lol
Its not as fun as it use to be though (the under 18 years) =(
I hope you get ripped off majorly. I honestly hated kids who did that just because. I hope your mother, father, or guardians smacks you into retardation for doing that. I get kids do what kids do, but that's criminal and you should have been punished majorly.
This is also a reason, minors should NOT be immune to criminal charges and should be held as an adult. (not saying minor childish things, but criminal activities)
@Kerns0Phoegon I get what you're saying, I know its wrong now, as an adult. I look back and feel sorry for the people whom I robbed. But thats the world. I accept it and now, as an adult, am attempting to make it more secure, for better or worse. If I hadn't done what I had done, most people may not even know what social engineering is today, aside from Kevin Mitnick. Would you talk to him that way? Do I deserve what he went through? Doubtful. They probably got their money back TBH.
Yes, I would talk to them that way (assuming it's something like what you did, but I don't know so meh), and yes you do deserve it, If they got their money back or not doesn't matter as to you should pay for what you did equally, and it was more then just money it was breaking trust people had and making this world harder then need be to trust and be trusted, just because you needed your One-eyed monster exercised.
@lockergnome I'm all for Malwarebytes Antimalware now, but in my childhood I did call a few people and used social engineering to get their credit card numbers and buy porn.... maybe I shouldn't have admitted that, but I'm just saying to make a point, to some extent, there will always be a scam, spam, something out there to screw people over.
This needs to be addressed at the OS level I believe. Sorry Windows, you're coming out with Win8 and need to be at Win80. Also people, GET SMART PLS!
@lockergnome Wow. This is such BS. When people receive a .zip or .rar file through email, I'd say that it'd be better to not open that file unless you know it's coming from an email address with someone you know and trust. I don't get why there are people out there who create these malware. It's just a complete nuisance and just deters humanity from progressing to its best.
@suiton629 That's the point, it LOOKS like it's coming from someone you trust. It's pretty trivial to fake an email header to make it appear like it's coming from a trusted source. You could send an email to your boss and fake the header to make it look like it came from Obama if you really wanted to, then say he gives you permission to take the day off lol.
What an ass. You got paid to promote KnowBe4, this is an old scam. It's a Zip File, Hotmail will screen it, Gmail Will Screen it Outlook will screen it. You are being a Spammer, This wasn't a risk to anyone you are trying to profit from fear mongering.
spam's a funny thing, most of the meg partners on the tube would not be there if it was not for spam
and boy hasn't the tube been culling all the spam networks here, if your not a top ranking tuber now well you possibly never will be due to the network chokes now in place
I don't understand how people get viruses... I haven't used virus protection since I got my laptop last year and I browse the internet all the time *cough*piratebay*cough*
Play games, and everything. I don't have Facebook though
@TheTony2313 u may actually infected, but maybe u haven realized which is compressive since many virus are just hided if u don't have an antivirus u won't noticed that u have one.
@ERNESERNES you dont need virus protection to realize you have viruses, just dont click anything suspicious and dont download anything stupid is what you live by
"Most people on the world online." Ok I call bullshit yet again. Once again Chris is showing no recognition of anyone outside his street. About six billion people really don't give a shit about the internet they are more concerned about food and being gunned down by gangsters and/or police.
ok guys download avast free antivirus its amazing its very good and it has a web rep wich cheeks every link before u enter the website so u guys will kno if the site is malicius its the best antivirus i kno that wont slow down ur pc and its very very good
Chris, and the guys at lockergnome. Why do you think people make Malware and Trojans and viruses and worms and all the malicious stuff? People in the comments answer to.. I'm curious is all. I make fake shutdown shortcuts that can say "trojan horse activated" just for fun, no harm intended. What do you all think? Is this wrong?
@iKyuubi1995 It started off as friendly pranks, then people being assholes just because they could, and now it's more about people trying to steal your money. That pretty much sums it up.
Why do people fall for this shit?! like ive honestly always wondered..i got an email like this..it was along the lines of "you have been suspected of embezzling money from (i dont remember the bank) and if you open this we will check your pc to make sure your clean" and i just sat there laughing ..why do people fall for it?!
l recently been hearing about some 'anti-trust' murmurs about windows 8 and what it might include, but that got me to think of the original anti-trust bs and the following.
I got a phishing email once, from one of my own e-mail addresses. That was a little strange.

@KawinTantisiriwat It's a bug with YouTube. They've been having a problem with the publishing system that shows stuff in your sub box. Kind of annoying because I suddenly got about 40 videos in my sub box I'd not seen that were uploaded days ago and never saw.

@Kerns0Phoegon less people attack it, as it has no market share, and whenever a Linux distro executes a file, it tells you and wants you to enter a password.

Well if you are going to use that PW thing, that's laughable honestly.. Windows 7 + (soon, maybe not so soon to come windows 8), and Windows Vista (it's more beh about it) use UAC, that would prevent 'most' software from installing/running if it touches key things.
That also said, Windows has some free and GREAT software (Microsoft security essentials, teamed with Comodo products) and you would have to be a moron to really do what's needed to infect the system.
Kerns0Phoegon 5 months ago
@Kerns0Phoegon people who do get affected by this don't know about malware bytes, avast, comodo or other things. besides people just install things, and ignore the uac, which is like Linux, but not.

It's similar enough to make a fair comparison, though they are completely different.
Though you do speak the truth, but then it's not the OS fault so much as it the users fault for being stupid. I do wish users to be educated no matter the system they are on, but with respect it'd be good for people to stop using morons as a base line for windows users and windows security.
If you want to see some grade S Computer moron, search (steam + Mac) and you'll see some funny stupids.
Kerns0Phoegon 5 months ago
@Kerns0Phoegon yeah it's not the OS's fault for phishing scams, and always the end users. If they don't to get their info to get stolen, they should learn. thanks for the funnys. :)
pokestory1 5 months ago
@Kerns0Phoegon Not everybody is that computer savvy sadly. Even the most secure OS ever made is still at risk because of the person using it. That's the weakest link in any security system. Designing better more logical and easy to understand interfaces and dialogue boxes with things written in real world every day language does as much for security as having the equivalent of Fort Knox protecting the system, because people will be more informed about what's going on and less confused.

Mac OS can be infected, true it won't be the same files that launch, but Macs are not immune to viruses at all, and they are soon to be targets because mac users are getting to full of them selves and thinking they are immune to things.

I hope you get ripped off majorly. I honestly hated kids who did that just because. I hope your mother, father, or guardians smacks you into retardation for doing that. I get kids do what kids do, but that's criminal and you should have been punished majorly.
This is also a reason, minors should NOT be immune to criminal charges and should be held as an adult. (not saying minor childish things, but criminal activities)
Also people need to be smarter about their info.
Kerns0Phoegon 5 months ago
@Kerns0Phoegon I get what you're saying, I know its wrong now, as an adult. I look back and feel sorry for the people whom I robbed. But thats the world. I accept it and now, as an adult, am attempting to make it more secure, for better or worse. If I hadn't done what I had done, most people may not even know what social engineering is today, aside from Kevin Mitnick. Would you talk to him that way? Do I deserve what he went through? Doubtful. They probably got their money back TBH.

@dirtylogs
Yes, I would talk to them that way (assuming it's something like what you did, but I don't know so meh), and yes you do deserve it, If they got their money back or not doesn't matter as to you should pay for what you did equally, and it was more then just money it was breaking trust people had and making this world harder then need be to trust and be trusted, just because you needed your One-eyed monster exercised.

@lockergnome I'm all for Malwarebytes Antimalware now, but in my childhood I did call a few people and used social engineering to get their credit card numbers and buy porn.... maybe I shouldn't have admitted that, but I'm just saying to make a point, to some extent, there will always be a scam, spam, something out there to screw people over.
This needs to be addressed at the OS level I believe. Sorry Windows, you're coming out with Win8 and need to be at Win80. Also people, GET SMART PLS!
dirtylogs 5 months ago
@lockergnome Wow. This is such BS. When people receive a .zip or .rar file through email, I'd say that it'd be better to not open that file unless you know it's coming from an email address with someone you know and trust. I don't get why there are people out there who create these malware. It's just a complete nuisance and just deters humanity from progressing to its best.
suiton629 5 months ago
@suiton629 That's the point, it LOOKS like it's coming from someone you trust. It's pretty trivial to fake an email header to make it appear like it's coming from a trusted source. You could send an email to your boss and fake the header to make it look like it came from Obama if you really wanted to, then say he gives you permission to take the day off lol.
