MrObsessive Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I recently had a laptop from a friend of mine's cousin who had a very NASTY virus on it due to it being hacked! All I can say is make sure you have a STRONG password to all of your accounts, and also be sure you have the latest and greatest antivirus/malware software on your setup. Also keep the updates up-to-date! There's a particularly nasty bug going around right now called TDS-4 which is part of the TDSS system put out back in '08. It's almost undetectable unless you notice your computer doing weird things. Contained in that virus is a keylogger which is one way that hackers can get your passwords to your accounts. These days BE CAREFUL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 One of the newer scams is picking up a virus from Image files. When Google image surfing I will get a message from Norton about a hack attempt...coming in thru the image site. Usually the screen will freeze and "start" a scan for viruses......and you cannot back out. My norton will close it, but on some you must "X" out As Bill said...keep your antivirus and spyware up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
