Recommended Posts

Whn i was GrisoM many people thank me for this guide so here you have:

 

Well mates i know a few important things and i search a little bit more, and i make a guide so u can protect your pc from manny things :

 

1. AVG Anti-Root Kit: One of the most feared types of malware is the root-kit. Root-kits are most of the time causes for trojan horses. These programs usually hide trojans which can take control of your PC without your knowledge. AVG Anti Root-kit is a software to prevent Root-kit attacks.

2. NoScript: Many times attack could be due to harmful and hidden Javascripts and applets. NoScript is a Firefox extension which prevents all the scripts and applets from running. It can also block Java, Flash and other site plugins.

3. LinkScanner Lite: LinkScanner is another tool which determines whether a site is dangerous or not. Open the url in Link scanner and it determines whether there are any scripts, bad downloads onr any other harmful content in the site.

4. AOL Active Security Monitor: Active Security Monitor is not a software to protect your PC directly from virus and other attacks, instead it checks for all the installed anti-virus and anti-spyware softwares and informs whether all have the latest version and updates. It also checks for installed firewalls.

5. Comodo Firewall PRO: Comodo Firewall is one of the top rated free firewall programs available. It offers highest level of security against anit-leak.

6. CCleaner: Whenever you surf the internet, you leave a trail of information in the form of temporary files, history, cookies etc. CCleaner gets rid of your system of all such traces and helps you maintain privacy in your PC.

 

Here: http://www.ccleaner.com/

 

7. Internet Threat Meter: Symantec’s Internet Threat meter informs you about the latest threats and information on the internet and also gives a link to Symantec website where you can get more information. It can be run as a widget in XP and sidebar gadget in Vista.

 

Here: http://www.symantec.com/norton/security_response/threatmeter.jsp

 

8. McAfee Site Advisor:  Site Advisor warns you about the site you are visiting is dangerous or not. It can be installed as an IE toolbar or as a Firefox plugin. Whenever you search internet, it shows whether the link is safe or not using colors.

9. Agnitum Outpost Fire Wall: The firewall includes a spyware scanner and pop-up blocker/spyware filter for Internet Explorer. Outpost Firewall Pro was also designed to allow users to create their own plugins and add third-party plugins to increase product effectivness and meet specific needs.

10. Deep Freeze (One of the most important fot net's)

After the simple installation procedure, you are asked whether you want to activate Deep Freeze, which will run a quick scan to “freeze” the computer in that state. You can then use the computer as you would normally but every time it is turned off, it will be returned to its original state. If at a later date you decide you want to make a permanent change you can temporarily disable Deep Freeze. The positive side of Deep Freeze is that it doesn’t impede the use of your computer in anyway. You can mess around with your PC as much as you want, installing and reinstalling programs and even deleting essential Windows files without worrying about the consequences. The downside is that if you forget to deactivate it, any work you’ve done or any essential changes you have made will be lost for good. It’s therefore advisable to save essential files or documents on an external drive when Deep Freeze is activated. You can also save to a special “thawed” section of your hard drive that is exempt from restoration.

 

(when u install the freeze it will ask u wich disk u want to freeze [i recomend the C disk (the most important so when some one try to "kill" your machine nothing happend)]

The most usefull site do download anything

Edited-Add

 

CookieCuller:

his is definitely the best cookie-management addon I've found. I use it regularly. I do, however, agree with others that it is too easy to delete all your cookies, so a confirmation step or a way to differentiate the Delete All button would be superb. And one suggested improvement: middle ground between deleting all (unprotected) cookies and manually selecting a bunch from a long list would be the ability to create lists of cookies/domains that get deleted at the push of a button. I have some sites that I visit regularly that I don't want to remember me when I return, but each time I have to scour my list of cookies and select just those. But this addon definitely works great/as advertised.

 

Here: https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/82

 

 

Add 1 more thing (not to protect but is very usefull)

Recuva:

Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!

Browser Uptime 1.8.0:

 

It's easy to lose track of time while browsing the Internet. This extension won't prevent you from doing so, but when you feel like you've been browsing too long you can ask it exactly how long your current browser session has lasted.

 

Features:

- Adds a "Browser Uptime" item to the "Tools" menu, which reports the duration of your current browser session.

 

for firefox 2.0

 

Here: https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/15

 

Mouse Gestures 1.5.2:

Allows you to execute common commands (like page forward/backward, close tab, new tab) by mouse gestures drawn over the current webpage, without reaching for the toolbar or the keyboard.

You can also use click-only "rocker" gestures which are even faster than drawn gestures.

 

Here: https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/39

 

 

Web Developer 1.1.6:

Adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools.

 

Here: https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/60

 

SwitchProxy Tool 1.4.1:

SwitchProxy lets you manage and switch between multiple proxy configurations

quickly and easily. You can also use it as an anonymizer to protect your

computer from prying eyes. NOTE: In Firefox you can use the toolbar

element to save space

 

Here: https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/125

 

remember for all that dont speak spanish to add this file u just need to press the button that says

 

Añadir a Firefox

 

Adblock 0.5.3.043:

Once installed, it's a snap to filter elements at their source-address.

Just right-click: Adblock: done. Filters use either the wildcard character (*)

or full Regular Expression syntax. Hit the status-element and see what has or

hasn't been blocked.

 

Here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/10

 

Spyware Doctor:

very nice man but dont you think that those are little bit many programs for protecting..i mean if u want to protect it just get the latest version of kaspersky and you'll be fine...i am currently using Bit Defender and its very good

Anti-viruses are bull sh1ts. I'd just use my core system to absorb all the viruses and than deleting all the data. Actually this core system is a fake one but you all know that most of the viruses are aiming for C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and thats why its way too easy to remove them with making a fake "core system". Anyhow if you insist on using a AV program i suggest you use the Panda Anti-Virus all others are just nuesence.
