My recent exposure to windows 8 has caused me to add several gray hairs to an already full head of salt and pepper shades. Thank goodness for
Malwarebytes and its ability to clean up some of the mess that others are trying to introduce to my system.
I have gotten so used to an operating system like Ubuntu , that I never had any real concern for the fact that everyone needs protection when they are surfing. What I have come to realize is that many of the malware that comes to me is stuff that I instigate myself.
Most of us will agree that the internet is a great place, for a variety of reasons, until you have to start dealing with the flagrant interference by unscrupulous individuals, but to me it makes no sense that these individuals can't seem to find something better to do with their time.
Malware is an opportunity for someone to plant a seed on your computer, giving them the chance to apply your resources to further their cause, and what it boils down to is that there are no features worth the aggravation.
When you choose to install a new program on your system, especially the one that is free, you might want to take your time and read, before you start clicking your approval. You will be provided with notifications and the opportunity to refuse most of these Trojan horses.
Unless you know what you are looking for, you will probably not detect any of these unwanted visitors, until you start hearing that familiar whirring on your hard drive, not to mention the long load times.
