Search for movie online is that easy? Think again

Internet, the place where u can find almost everything. Many people try to find things they want on internet, such as lyric, movies, music and more. However internet is also a place with many malware and scam.

Search result with scam site

Malicious people set up scam site with content most people looking for, such as latest music and lyric. Then unsuspecting user go into the scam site, the scam site asking them to install something into their computer in order to access the content. Once the user install the software and BANG! Malware installed!

It's that easy to watch a new movie online?? Think again

So how do you avoid this? use a link scanner such as McAfee site adviser to check whether the site is clean before visit. Do not simply install plug-in from unknown sites.

That’s all for today, keep safe.

AVG9. The popular free anti virus new release.

Security and Cyber crime No Comments »

AVG Free anti virus, the free version of anti virus software installed on most PC, offer decent protection and easy to use interface since version 8.5. What I like about AVG is the interface is straightforward and clean, updates are fast too. I have experience working with several anti virus software and some of them have problem which is very difficult to update, Some got ridiculously designed interface (AWWWHHHHHH!!!!! THIS MAKE ME PULL MY HAIR ALOT!!!). However my experience with AVG (since version 8.5) most of the time are decent and easy.

AVG 9, the new version of the free anti virus, is said to have faster performance. It also feature scan optimizer which skip verified legitimate application which save time while scanning.
