We have not went over virus prevention for a while so here is a new tip to help prevent viruses and malware form even getting onto your computer in the first place.
Today’s tip is not going to be one hundred percent perfect, but the malware that we are not defending against will be easier for your anti-virus programs to identify and remove. With that said lets get to the tip: install Debugger software, why would you do this if you have no intention of fixing code. This is more of a trick to make viruses think you computer is a dangerous location. To let you know Debuggers are used by many security professionals to identify how a virus works thus finding the code cues that the virus has, from there they cut the code away and recording them for anti-virus programs, thus ending the viruses life. Advanced malware are likely to scan your computer and abort installation if this kind of program is on the registry (This is the goal we are going for) thus keeping your computer safe from a virus installation, all for the price one unused program. For what one to use I recommend X64dbg for windows system witch is a open source debugging tool, you can also search for a similar program for Mac. For more computer repair needs please visit us.
