PC Security info for you `!!! Videos included for the noobs:

Hey guys:: well the nerd I am I recently started messing with viruses and such not for harmful use but for educational purposes if you get my drift and what I've come to realize is "shit almost all warez are backdoored"

Look guys heres how MOST noob hackers do it with great success.

You have

File A ( a good working program lets say Photoshop CS4)
File B ( A keygen that creates a key)
File C ( a server.exe that logs your passwords and or keystrokes)

Okay no one really will mess with file A but trojans are sometimes injected into them . but most likely b will be the culprit.

So what they do with File B is they use a file binder and attach a keygen so they combine file B and C and then when they execute the binded files they execute the virus.

Well most of these people use detected viruses so your AV should pick it up right ??? WRONG they also have something called a crypter which makes the virus FUD fully undetected runtime and scantime. You could scan the virus here at www.novirusthanks.org which uses multiple virus scanners to check if there is a virus present.

Okay so you're basically not safe downloading anything but you need warez right ? So heres my tips. If you're broke and cant afford some great AV like NOD32 or something my first choice would be AVast Home but it conflicts with Zonealarm so my choice would be AVG Free and Zonelarm basic firewall. I posted some videos below to help you with the setup. Zonealarm basic firewall alerts you when programs are trying to access the net so go ahead and give it a shot .

Zonealarm Setup:

AVG Home Free setup




another tool thats great is called Sandboxie if you run a program through it you should be on the safeside but some viruses have "anti sandboxie" options but basically with this you could tell if something is binded since both programs will show up on its list of running apps.

Heres a video tutorial on how to use it.


Thats basically it . Ill update on whatever I come across.
