[hide=Go Tools > Options > Privacity and Level Up Security.][/hide]

 

[hide=Execute ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâëmsconfigÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâû and go to the ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâëtabsÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâû and check the list.]

 

[hide=Check that any service outside of Microsoft is runing on your PC.]

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=Uncheck on start all those that not are Ad-Aware or Avast related.][/hide]

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=If you have ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâëwindows xp service pack 2ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâû check firewall settings.]

 

[/hide]

 

[hide=Scan your PC and allow to delete infected files at restart.]

 

[/hide]

 

I suggest:

 

 

 

"Scan with Ad-Aware every time that you logout and before login.

 

In case of serious problems: reinstall windows selecting ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâëupdateÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâû"

I done saying what I needed to say.

Ummm...what?

 

Seriously dude. Get a bucket of water, and pour it in your power supply; Itunes and google are definately viruses, along with everything else that is not microsoft.

It would help if the instructions were more clear, and if they were not in Spanish. This is an English speaking forum, and I would prefer to see everything in English. Also, linking everything to RuneWeb... why? It's stupid to post everything twice on two different fansites. Thanks but no thanks.

Raising the restriction for cookies will not help you become secure. Sure, it can stop malicious cookies, but unless implement some sort of filter, an average user is most likely going to run into login problems.

 

 

 

Unless you are an advanced user, disabling services is not recommended at all. You can break your operating system by disabling the wrong services. Some programs will also install their own services in order to run. By disabling these services, your programs may not work.

 

 

 

Not everything on your startup list is malicious. By disabling everything except anti-spyware, you're making yourself more vulnerable. The average user is going to wonder why his/her anti-virus or firewall isn't working, both of which are far more important than anti-spyware.

 

 

 

Most people aren't using Windows Firewall, so the third advice isn't applicable since they should be disabled by the third-party firewall. If you are using Windows Firewall however, checking the no exceptions option will cause a few problems with applications that require inbound connection. Things like torrents, chat programs and other stuff requires inbound connection.

 

 

 

I had no idea what the fourth advice was. Assuming it was about anti-virus, that is pretty much self-explanatory. Furthermore, most anti-virus programs have real-time scanning, which means you're not likely to find a virus going past your shields. There's no harm in scanning once in a while though.

 

 

 

Scanning Ad-aware everytime you log in and out is just a waste of time. Doing it once a week or a month is much better.

 

 

 

Errdoth's link contains much better advice. There is also another important thing to remember. No program is going to save you from stupidity. Always practice safe surfing.

You just raising the security in internet explorer (version 6 too, when the newest and safest version is 7) is not going to help with too many viruses, if any at all.

 

 

 

How do you know those programs are keyloggers? Even if they are, you just unchecking them is not going to work, they will probably just start up anyway because they are not easy to get rid of. The proper way to remove a keylogger is to scan with your antispyware and virus programs and remove them that way.

 

 

 

So let's see, you are telling people to have better security but you don't have the newest version on internet explorer which has more security holes, gave information that will not stop a keylogger but convince novices that they are safe and all of your pictures are not in English on and English speaking forum.
