Wow. I left the topic for a day and it gets crowded.
Um, about the formatting. How is the way to format my disk? I use Easeus Partition Master, which is easy to use, and try to format the C drive, but it's unable to do so. Is there any particular program to format my disk?
And I've been thinking, what would happen if my system drive got formatted? My laptop won't have an OS! Is that right? I've never done this before, so I don't know.
Talking about probabilities, yeah porn/warez sites are more likely to cause the infection that, let's say, visiting this forum or Google homepage. Removable drives + autorun are another huge source. Mind you: an AV is not a magic cure for all your security problems.
- sandboxed browsing
- limited user account
- disabling autorun
all easy things to do which greatly reduce the impact.
I understand about Limited Account. But, about disabling autorun. How can I do this? Do you mean disabling my external HD's autorun, or what?
And sandboxed browsing, how can I do this. I know about avast's Auto Sandbox, but not the sandboxed browsing.
Now I know how important to do these things, so I hope you guys could help me.
Oh yeah, I guess I know where I got the infection. It's from my friend's computer, which I scanned with Avira and found about 4200+ viruses on the laptop. I guess the infection has spread badly, eh?
Thank you very much for your help guys, may god give you the same in return. And I'm sorry if anything in my posts irritates you, or my questions are too stupid, even for a newbie.
