January 10, 200917 yr Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid. Freaking awesome book series, too bad the tv series was ftl.
January 10, 200917 yr Rule number 1 - Clans recommended by random people ingame either suck or are scams. Rule number 2 - Getting hacked is extremely easy to avoid. No site can download viruses to your computer without your permission. And there are plenty of free antiviruses. Off-Topic - I clicked the link on Runescape to see "How to make my password safe" and it said the max number of characters was 20. WTF? My pass is 40+ characters :lol: Yeah, I'm a bit paranoid. Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3

January 10, 200917 yr Author Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid. Are you calling me stupid ! :lol: If you downloaded a suspicious file, didn't run antivirus software, or entered your usename and password anywhere but runescape.com (the only 3 things that could have happened), you did something stuipd ;) I have Symantec Antivirus Scan everyday, I almost never download anything off suspicious websites. It could have been that I had been using IE. Using Chrome currently.

It could have been that I had been using IE. Using Chrome currently. Sorry, but Symantec is pretty bad as far as Antiviruses go. It won't catch much, and is very cpu/ram intensive and slow compare to other, better programs such as Avast, AVG, and Avira (Those are just the free ones. If you want to pay, get Nod32 or Kapersky) Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3

January 10, 200917 yr Simply visiting a page won't give you a virus. Yes, it can. Websites that are created to exploit vulnerabilities in your system when you visit them, such as not up to date software and sometimes new tricks they found regardless if the software is updated or not. Once they find the vulnaribility, they use it to download and install something on your computer. This goes all automatically when you visit the website. The vulnerability can be anything from an non-updated browser, to a new exploit found in quicktime that is used until it is patched. There's nothing you can do except update all your applications, but it may happen anyway as long as one uses windows. Windows itself has holes all over it, it is the most used system, and as such it's the one that gets all the viruses. 2480+ total

January 10, 200917 yr I wasn't talking about Runescape, I was responding to his general statement. He's saying he just visited a website and his password was 'scammed', not 'hacked'. I was arguing that that was HIGHLY unlikely, and he probably downloaded a file he shouldn't have or entered his password on the wrong website.

January 10, 200917 yr Author Please calm down guys. Anway, What do you think of Chrome? I'm using Firefox. And IE could have vulnerabilities that are not yet known, any browser could. Chrome is basically as good as FireFox in my opinion, just a little more handy. Easier to save bookmarks, favourite pages. I personally find IE crap, only reason I was using it is because my parents dont regularly check the cookies on it...
