Edit:If This Needs To Be Moved, Go ahead.

Many people have or had at least on bad virus on their computer.Maybe you clicked on a bad link or you seem to have downloaded something bad!Well here are a few tips to avoid nasty viruses.

1.Unless someone is a trusted user at the certain site(Ex:Youtube;Ray William Johnson),never and I mean NEVER click a thetechgame.org link.When these links are shown,it usually means the site cannot read the site or the site doesnt want to be read.I can guarantee you most thetechgame.org sites on FB have viruses on them(but be cautious about them everywhere!).

2.If you are torrenting,ISO,Etc. make sure to...

-Check The Comments
-If there is a thumbs up and down system,check that out for the file
-Become familiar with files and their sizes.If 1 song that is 2-4 minutes long is 20 MB(example),there is probably virus on it.
-If you are going to torrent/ISO,go to wel known sites such as The Pirate Bay.
-Become Familiar with the sites out their.If you are really concerned look around the internet for reviews on the certain torrent/ISO Site you are going to use

3.Never Go to Limewire!

4.Do not click ads,pop-ups,etc. unless you trust them enough to do so.

5.Use your virus prevention software to san your computer at least once a week.These scans can take up to 2-3 hours,but help a bunch.

6.Only download something if you are given proof that it is safe(Virus Scan Pics,Pics of the file,etc.)

7.This is for all people who watch porn(which I am not promoting),stop watching it on your computer or it will at some point crash and definetly do not download porn to your computer. If you are going to look up porn, look it up on a I Device or 3G Device.They are less expensive and dont get the same kind of viruses

8.Well Since a certain someone posted the obvious in the comments,I found a comment by CSS that may help if you want to inspect an item.It says,"
Anti-virus' won't always protect your pc, malicious program's can be encrypted to stop anti-virus' from doing their job.
The best thing to do would be to download sandboxie and run any untrusted program's in there then it won't harm your pc and you can see what it's trying to do to your computer. "
I will be adding more soon, but these are just the common things that you can do to avoid viruses.I hope this thread really helped and If you have any more tips,put them in the comments and if they are valid,they will be posted up here with the source of where the tip was found

I was drinking my Dr. Pepper and you made me laugh so hard that all of my soda came out of my mouth to my shirt. Thanks for ruining my favorite shirt
