Georgelemmons Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlanders Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compfreak847 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 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.

Congratz on making a fool of yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, I addmitted my mistake. Infact this is the first time this has happened. Why should I thank "him" he took advantage, Iam not responsible for his (or your) ignorance. Think before you post. EDIT: Also read the whole thread before you post.
