Thatta boy M4!! People need to do this and just are to lazy or dont understand and or again are simply to lazy to learn how!! I tell people all the the time that the biggest problem areas are FREE sites because if its free nobody is gonna spend the money to protect their site for free for other people to use!!!
The biggest target sites for malicious activity are FREE music movie and video and computer app dowloads, Game sites Free porn, and other child sites. People ask why child sites or music?? I explain that most kids dont understand the severity of what they can get from these sites nor do they even think about it all they see is FREE and have at it. They can use the site for several visits and downloads but eventually their gonna get hammered and good usually through a download.
The @$$pipes that launch these nasties know that kids are the way they are and adults alike when they see free "OOOHH BOY HOW COOL!!! and everyone is gonna use the site and tell all there friends about it and pretty soon every Tom Dick and Harry is using it and what not an awsome place to launch havoc and get the horse$h!+ circulating but good.
My kids all know better and know how to avoid and get rid of some of these issues but from years ago their friends would play on their computers and make a mess of things. I havent had to sit down with their machines in a few years but I think somethings up with my 16 year old sons gaming PC because he hasnt been on it and seems to use my battle axe of a PC in the living room that I built a few years back.
I asked him why hes on my machine and he said that mines way faster well he knows I have a few more cores than his PC which his is no slouch anyways. Im pretty sure that his screwing around and gaming got him in a jam again and he doesnt want to say, Unless he was in another site and doesnt want dad to see LOL!!
Parents need to explain to kids the severity of what can happen and its not all about what happens to the pc itself but what happens with your privacy ETC. ANYONE NOT RUNNING A FIREWALL IS SIMPLY CRAZY even if you have to resort to the windows firewall thats included in window you have torun something!! I often laugh at these commecials about these websites like "Clean My PC" its a trap and a joke you can do what this and other programs of the alike do for free!!
All in all you have to be careful and make you kids and family members aware of what they are doing and where they go online. Also remember as I tell people dont ever type anything online that you dont want anybody else to see because the internet is the gateway to the world so dont ever think you 100% safe.
