Nice post Barron
Most of the problems can be avoided by simple common sense
- Keep your browser security patches up-to date
- Keep your AV/Anti Spyware software up-to-date
- If a website looks dodgy, it probably is
- DONT install a video player/codec just because a website says you have to
- DONT let your browser "auto remember" passwords
- If you use Firefox install the No Script Addon
There are many more, but the above are just a few suggestions - and stay OFF the porn sites, that's just asking for trouble!
