There are many free porn sites out there, but anyone wonder why they are free? mostly as they install unwanted spyware or trojans onto your pc that either a. force the unsuspecting to have to purchase a bullshit removal tool or b. spend a couple of hours removing god knows what which you didn't even know you had installed.

This is the kind of thing you get... popups, install programs and then on some you even get your antivirus disconnected by them so you can't even cure it!...




However, there is help, its simple once you get your head round it, it is called a sandbox...

You download a program from here called Sandboxie Sand Box once installed you simply use its setting of...sandbox web browser



Once you use this, it simply opens your browser within a sandbox meaning anything added, or spyware it tries to install cannot escape further than the sandbox, once you close it's gone and no bullshit pop ups, spyware, viruses are installed to your PC ever again!

If you already have problems, other than a decent anti virus you need to run a full scan of:

Malwarebytes - Anti Malware - I find this one finds everything all the others cannot

Spybot - Search and Destroy - a great spyware finder

Just remember Norton or AVG will not rid you of this shit alone, hence why you have it on your pc already!

Good info ringers!!!

[Matrix]

Yes,very informative mate,+1 from me.

I hate when there is those kind of pop ups telling you that you have won a green card,or that there is a free single ladyboy/GG near your town,and it comes with a picture,saying "Hello,want to fuck tonight" or simillar.

1st of,neither of those girls live near me,not even in the same fucking contry.

Will try that Sandbox for sure.

I have been using Sandboxie for years and have been very happy. My setup is:

• WiTopia VPN
  
• Sandboxie
  
• Lastpass tied to a gmail account
  
• Springpad for keeping notes of girls and such
  
• Gmail
  
• CCleaner to erase everything

I just use Opera Browser, never a pop up here and according to all scans no spyware either!

I had problems recently with an attack, so along with some of the above mentioned tools, I found this one which is quite good at removing all the nasties. Tacky name, it sounds like a nasty itself but is in fact a powerful tool.

You could do what I do when I want to use the company laptop to visit this forum. Connect with a ethernet cable to my home router. Do not boot the company installed windows image, instead boot up using a live Ubuntu Linux CD then start firefox and login to the forum. When you shut down the laptop all of the browsing history and cached data disappears from the laptop's memory.

Use a mac. Far less hassle. Reset browser after use. Use Intego,'Washing Machine," to flush anything else out. No problems yet.

The only trouble with this suggestion is that it requires an investment in new hardware if you don't already have a mac. With that said if I had a mac I would prefer to use it instead of a windows machine.

[American Eagle]

I use a Mac too, but my brother who uses a Windows likes this program ---> AdAware and best of all it's FREE!

[ilikeit111]

Im a windows 7 user. I don't use any programs. I use up to date free anitvirus and be smart about what your clicking on. You should know what are scam links or software. Touch wood, i haven't had any problems for about 5 years.

[Fie dollah]

only viruses i get are from Los

 all the way for me

[cesar67]

windows 7, with mcafee , no problems

[Twoshots]

If your a mac man, computer not park flasher, then the new OS Lion and its web browser has sand boxing built in, and apparently throughout the system.

Three really good free programs to use that clean up your computer are.

1. ad-aware www.lavasoft.com
2. spywareblaster
3. spybotsearch and destroy.

you can google all three of these programs. just free versions you have to manually update and run. But since using these in combinations with windows defender and kaspersky internet security program I have avoided any problems for years.

I really like Kaspersky those russians really know a lot about computer bugs and viruses. It works so much better than norton or any other ones I have tried.

[Otto von Blotto]

I used to use Ad-Aware, but the more recent versions are more intrusive (they are almost what they are fighting IMO) and I no longer use it. Give it a try, you might like it, and it certainly performs well. Spybot Search and Destroy is great - be sure to use the realtime protection it gives you, it is one of the best. The other anti-malware program I use is Avast, a free and excellent antivirus program that also has realtime protection. The one from Microsoft is also good, but IMO Avast is better, and you can't beat the price. You can find all of these with the appropriate application of Google-fu.

I used to use Macs; they're very good and suffer from this to a lesser degree than Windows machines - they aren't immune, though.

Because Windows is used on some 85% of total website usage (Mac at about 13%, Linux and others make up the rest) that is one of the reasons why Windows is more at risk. Hackers etc love to be recognised for their abilities and you get more "recognition" on Windows than other o/s's!

I also have Windows 7 and McAfee (2 months trial free) on a brand new laptop but it's far from perfect.
When if want to "visit" the LB-69 site or forum, I get "red flags" so the speak,

Ho are you sure you want to visit this site, dangerous, site with potential risks, be careful, ...
Am I the only one with this problem ?

I heart a lot of positive about Panda anti virus program, who can confirm this?
Feedback is appreciated.

So what's going on with the lb69 forum, is it now an oasis for spyware and viruses?
