Trojans

[newproject]

Most programs (especially through msn) have trojan horses applied to them

Trojan horses do -
can recieve your msn, habbo, paypal etc. password.

So please be careful what you download - especially if you think your gonna download things for editing the hotel - its wrong! and very dangerous!

Please post here if you had an experience with a trojan horse and tell everyone how dangerous they are to your computer system

They Are So Dangerous Listen To Neproject I Had A Computer Before This One, And That Computer Got A Trojan Horse From A Game On Aol And The Trojan Got All Aurond The Pc In The Processer, Hard Drive Etc.
The Computer Had To Been Thrown Away Because It Was Beyond Repair.The Whole Computer Was Infected And I Had Norton Antivirous Installed on The Pc Now I Use Mcafe And I Get No Probs.

Thanks

I do suggest using AVG free

Somehow it picks up viruses well and truly before norton

AVG - detects
Norton - Deleted
Ad-aware - double checks

Yeh
But I Think Its Best To Buy Mcafe Because It Is Quicker At Searching And Destroying

I hav somthing called Bullguard. Its amazing! I got a 180 day free trial and i up to like 60 now. I am not sure how much it costs but it is fabulous. I got it from a friend hu had a disk from a pc magazine with the free trial on.

McAfee Security Suite 7!
Recommend it through and through.
its like the most advanced and safest security suite I know.
but it is rather expensive but think about it.
Either pay £60 for McAfee or £600 for a new computer if it gets a trogan?

We had to fork out £1,500 for a brand new PC because my old one got trojaned because it had no firewall dough! - Mcafe suite i personally reccomdned from pc world its a bargin £30 for great protection perm :D

This is so ironic...just after i started this thread my computer got a mega error - from a trojan. So be warned - i had to delete every little file on my computer, even all 300 odd music files... so please, please, please dont go downloading anything that is targeted to hack, script habbo hotel. Im not sure what i mustv downloaded... I actually dont know - so be careful!!!!

Buy a new PC? If you really cant get rid of a trojan, format your harddrive and reinstall windows, its alot cheap and only takes about an hour.

heres some info i dug out -

What is a Trojan?

A Trojan is a program that gives other people access to your computer; sometimes it "hijacks" your PC so that you cannot use certain applications to delete it.

A good firewall will prevent your PC from being accessed by a third party, but it may not prevent you from downloading a Trojan.

Not all anti-virus software will detect or remove Trojans, as they are not considered to be a major threat because they generally do not self-replicate. What is a Trojan?

I think AVG free is better than Norton

[newproject]

AVG free is newer than norton - so i think it is better...

I used to use Norton AV 2002 with Internet Explorer, and would receive alteast 1 virus/trojan/worm a month. One of them took my habbo account (over 150 credits worth of furni)

since that attack, I have moved to Bullguard and Netscape then Firefox. I am yet to receive any viruses or trojans.

Because I Beta Test their products before release, I have received 1.5 free years.

The only habbo editing you should do is in paint when you make an alt
