As some of you know I recently was attacked by a Trojan that hi jacked my PC. My daughter clicked on a pop up she thought was a game and BAM! With the help of TnTxajun http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...er.php?u=26825 I was able to get back up and running without losing anything. I was very lucky! Again I thank you Jack, a lifesaver!
Jack taught me that even with Norton running I was vulnerable to attack. It took literally hours over the course of a few days to get back running. Jack helped me install some very simple and free software that will help to prevent another attack from being successful. Malwarebytes, McAfee Site Advisor, Zone alarm, and spyware blaster are a few of the tools I now run to stave off attack.
I am passing this on as I had no idea how vulnerable I was. I thought I was bulletproof with Norton. Wrong! We all value our machines and the ability to visit SMF. Take some time and make sure you are protected or you could be in the same boat or worse. Internet hackers and terrorists also use these Trojans to try and infiltrate government sites etc. It is our duty to stop this from happening. Look what they did to twitter a while back, brought the site to it's knees for a few days.
Just my two cents but it sure makes sense to make sure your protected.
