How not to: Surf Securely
Posted On Saturday, July 12, 2008 at at 7:03 PM by IshanSurfing with mind closed can wrack havoc on you and your Computer. There are many viruses and worms that are waiting to infect your computer. Do you feel good when you sit in front of computer and things happen automatically? Like windows opening and closing by themselves, new programs popping up without any commands. What? You like such things happening! Then, this post is just for you.
Turn off Automatic Updates
Automatic updates in any software are irritants. I just hate them. They keep the software up to date and stop viruses and worms from infecting your computers. Thank God, the mindless people writing the code used the last bit of their intelligence and gave us option to turn these off. What are waiting for? Go, turn these off in Windows and any security software you have.
Uninstall Third Party Security Softwares
Windows XP had some (lame) inbuilt security features. Vista has some well implemented irritants. They might be good at saving your PC but these third party antiviruses and firewalls are good guards. They too do not let anyone unauthorized code enter your system. With all these worms and viruses outside your PC, how will you enjoy the automatic things I mentioned?
Download "free" software
Ever saw a website offering a software for free for which Microsoft (or any other company) charges a handsome amount? Click on download link right now. And remember, never run any Anti-virus scan on such a software. It will most probably appear as infected. But I know, you are following my tips and have surely followed second one. Freeware, Open Source and Shareware programs are big irritants. They are 99.9% times virus free.
Visit Porn and "Unlimited Warez Downloads" sites.
Porn sites and warez sites are biggest source of viruses. Access them as much as possible with security measures down. In a few days, your computer will get fully automated. It will start shutting down itself and opening new programs. It may also start downloading and installing new softwares.
Congratulations! If you have followed my tips seriously, you will see your PC getting automated within a few days. Don’t blame me if you are using Linux! It is just more safe.
