Safest way not to have passwords cracked...
Stay off the Net!!!
Let me send u some stuff...
http://www.moosoft.com/download.php
Go there, downalod, install, update and scan ur system for trojans. If u
have them, clean them.
Scan your system for viruses online for free, just go to this url and it
will look and clean all your drives without cost.
http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
Check for spyware on your system and remove it. Spyware Ad-aware
Removal available from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Also download the RefUpdate, so u can update the Ad-aware spyware removal.
To download the Sygate firewall to either of these URL's:
http://www.sygate.com/swat/default.htm
or http://www.sygate.com/swat/free/default.php
1- Go to http:// www.zonealarm.com
2- Download zonealarm
3- Install it and set it to low or medium.
(This one I hate it...they complicate what's more than simple)
A free Firewall http://www.tinysoftware.com/pwall.php
Run ONLY 1 firewall, otherwise ur gonna be vulnerable, firewalls will
conflict and not fully protectu as they should.
Check your system for open ports. Very complete tests. The most reliable one
I know.
http://scan.sygatetech.com/
To check open ports https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
http://grc.com/UnPnP/UnPnP.htm
That is for information on the Microsoft Universal Plug and Play service and
download of the program that allows you to disable it. That feature being
enabled MIGHT TURN YOUR PC INTO A SERVER
This is to test your ports status. https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
If u have port 5000 open, please go to the 1st URL, download the program,
run it and disable that feature.
That feature is enabled at least on XP, ME and 98
NoShare and LetShare are terrific solutions for quickly, easily, and
reversibly disabling and enabling NetBIOS resource sharing.
When you are sharing NetBios resources, you are not fully protected, for you
can still be hacked. You can download these disabling and enabling NetBios
resource sharing files at http://grc.com/faq-shieldsup.htm#139
Windows XP users DO NOT download and install No Share file!!! Disabling
NetBIOS resource sharing cannot be done by using this tiny program. If you
install this file on XP you are going to need the Let Share file installed
to reverse this disabling. If you already rebooted your pc...it's too late
and you are going to have to format and reinstall Windows XP.
Best thing to do is download both programs, just in case.
Go to this site for an Internet Security Forum
http://grc.com/cb-faq.htm
Check here for software that is suspected bo be SpyWare
http://grc.com/oo/suspects.htm
Stay safe...protect urself!!!
As for firewall...I recommend Sygate Personal Firewall Pro 5.0!!!
Play with it and disable applications server capability!!!
Works fine for me!!!
