I was reading the support log that Onecare provides and I found that it had detected and quarantined adware last week. Then it just struck me. How do you get malware like this?Can you get malware from just typing a random url(like if you meant to type www.google.com, but instead, type www.googlre.com, and you get this weird site with all these random links)? I know that you can get trojan viruses by attachments, but that's pretty much all i know about getting viruses. I'm really paranoid (I scan my computer before i use it and after i use it and before i turn it off...you get the picture right?) and I would greatly appreciate if someone would shed some light on how I could avoid getting malware on my computer. Thank you
P.S. I'm even more paranoid now because my dad recently got a virus on his laptop as well...so yes...Help would truly be appreciated.
How do you get viruses/malware?
