MAIN IDEA: PEOPLE GET VIRUSES/WEIRD COMPUTER THREATS AND WONDER WHY. YET
THEY HAVE ALL THE LATEST P2P SHARING CLIENTS AND MALWARES WITH NO SPY
PROTECTION AND GET MAD AT THE VIRUS MAKERS!

---
	Think about it, OKAY? My friend from a while back came over the other 
day and snuck all this sh*t on my computer. What many people don't 
realize is that even if the original downloaded sharing client is safe, 
it is easy for dialer users to put crap on your computer.
	If you want to break the law and download key generators so you can get 
a 30.00 game for free, be prepared to pay 250.00 lowest for a new 
computer or tech support. Get your acts together. Stop having the 
attitude that you can load your comp with crap then scan afterwords. 
Wrong-answer. In the world of today, (with years of research) I have fou 
nd that viruses join with mal-ware. Okay, think about this. Some viruses 
are just touching the surface of your disk, lock your comp up, then you 
have to shut the pc down improperly. Tghen it bots up and you get a 
devil face and your comp is busted. So much for the scan after-words 
idea. This happened several years ago. If that could happen then, who 
knows what could happen now.
	You have to really think about what you are getting from the internet. 
If you are using Internet Explorer and/or Microsoft Internet default 
systems, make sure you do the following.
FOR INTERNET ZONE: Medium Security. Block all pop-ups. (For me on my 
laptop, it is already slow so I set it to high to make sure nothing 
happens.)
FOR LOCAL INTERNET ZONE: Medium-low. Pop-ups are of no concern.
FOR TRUSTED ZONE: Medium-low. Block pop-ups, and don't set to low 
because these sites still may have bad links.
FOR RESTRICTED ZONE: High. Block pop-ups and allow no exceptions.
ALWAYS ADD TO THE LIST!!!
---
Cookies should be set to high blocking. Allow certain sites to establish 
first party cookies. Delete the history cookies frequently.
Always run scans at least once a week, preferably when your asleep so 
you don't get tempted to minimize it and search web causing more problems.
Use AVG anti-virus, and make the back-up disk. Norton is too known and 
becomes corrupt. Trust me, it isn't worth it.
