try to use your common sense and dont clock on suspects links, beleive me common sense is the best antivirus you will have Wink

You just need to be careful with links posted in threads.
Whenever possible try to scan links with http://www.virustotal.com

agree that tool is very usefull.

not that useful actually, it detect plenty of false positive, it's better to copy past the link in a well secured VM, like vmware that can be encrypted too, or sandbox if you prefer

the temptation of checking a link is the main factor here, malicious coders usually play on this

Yeah well op is also saying that you can click accidentaly a signature link, but what can really happen for only clicking something, is it that bad?? I dont know about this kind of stuff, this guy made me scared now, i honestly clicked a lot of shit and nothing important happened to my computer so im just wondering if its that dangerous

Live and learn. I lost a thousand hours of music, not to mention pic files, personal projects, old contacts and almost my sanity because of an AVG lookalike scam that crashed my HD.

No, I wasn't smart enough to do a backup.  Angry
