Keep Malware - and Naked Reporters - Off of Your Computer
Some days, it seems as though there is a never-ending barrage of new malware out there in the cyber-world. Hackers and criminals are increasingly creative in trying to get you to click the links, thus delivering you their malicious code. People using services like Twitter also have to be concerned about malware - just ask our friend Guy Kawasaki. The trend this week is to use Swine Flu updates, and the lure of a possibly exposed ESPN sports reporter to spread malware. There are just too many schemes to list. In short - they'll try anything, and stop at nothing.
Without a doubt, there will be new and creative means to spread malware coming tomorrow and the next week.
Along with every major news story, the hackers / criminals will be first responders. They will use these news events as an opportunity to infect more computers. If you are using services like Facebook and Twitter, you have to be careful about the links that you click. And even the most careful of computer users slip up once in a while. If you are on Twitter and engaged in reading the posts, the last thing you may be thinking about is protecting yourself from malware. Hackers are counting on that.
That's is why we urge our readers to protect themselves. You may think you are careful enough. However, no one can be vigilant 100% of the time. There are drive-by downloads that can install malware on your machine, without your even having to click a link. This is the type of incidence that calls for an excellent security regime on your computer. You should have an Anti-Virus, a Firewall and at least one Anti-Spyware program running at all times.
We are very lucky to have Nick Skreptos, founder of the SUPERAntiSpyware program as a friend of our community, and even luckier that he has offered his program to all of you at an excellent discount. We well know how important it is to protect yourself and your data, and we're happy to be able to help by passing this savings along to you!
Nick and the SUPERAntiSpyware team have graciously extended to you a ten dollar discount from now until July 28th, 2009.
This is a program that is highly recommended within the security community. People who work on these pages use it and recommend it, too. We use it. We need it - and so do you. We are trying to make it as easy and as economical as possible for you to protect yourself and your computer. This program is easy to use and it is effective.

I also use Nortons 360 v2. I would never say that this kicks Norton's Azz. But it in the time that I have used it. It has found stuff that others I've paid money for didn't.
I have Nortons utilities also. This SuperAntispyware i use more as a backup and for $20? no biggy.

I Use Avast Pro. So I KNOW I'm protected.
Also i know ya are going to say "well Avast won't protect you from all viruses..."
If you were going to say that or something similar to that, then you read the above wrong.
I meant that I had a great Anti virus. And It might be a long time when a virus corrupts my computer.
And what caught my eye is that Chris said "You should have an ANTI-VIRUS, a Firewall and at least one ANTI-SPYWARE program."
Aren't antivirus and antispyware the same?

AntiVirus and AntiSpyware are absolutely NOT the same, no. You need one of each of the three. SUPERAntiSpyware is an AntiSpyware, and targets different things than an AntiVirus does. There are free and paid versions of SaS, as well as the other AntiSpyware program I recommend regularly - MBAM. :)
However, the free versions of both programs don't auto-update, and they don't provide "real time" protection. They are more on-demands scanners. However, they are both still very good.
And you never "KNOW" you're protected, no. Just because you have an AntiVirus (or even all three layers of protection) doesn't mean you cannot get infected. It just greatly lessens the chances of it. You still have to be careful with what you download, what types of sites you visit, and what links you click.
