So as most people on this forum probably know there's a lot of "D-Bags" who enjoy giving others malicious files win32's Trojan's key loggers the works so i figured since there's no way to have an immediate end to this ill post something to help so here's a few tips
1.SCAN EVERYTHING
What more can i say scan everything before unzipping or opening scan it you can scan it on your computer but i suggest using Virus Total it scans it with like 40 anti virus's 40x the chance to find something. NOTE: Be aware that false positives will happen your downloading things packed in themidia (i think that's the name something like that) not all files are packed like this but your downloading a file that injects itself into a program (common traits of a virus) false positives are gonna happen but be aware if say you scan with virus total and you get 3/40 that's prob a false positive but if you get 32/40 that's probably not just be smart
2.Check The Thread Before Downloading
What i mean is look at the thread as a whole look at the other people who post there see if its working for other people read what they say i usually wont download till i see a member i trust or alot of thanks from a lot of members like 2-4 pages at least because most likely if i works for 50 other people it will work for you but be careful because if it works for 20peope look at there post count its not every convincing if it works for 10people with 2posts that joined yesterday look at all that info its a lot less likely a person who joined last year and has 200 posts is trying to set you up. Oh and whats so bad if someone else tests the program for you <-- Hehe
3.Study The Poster Carefully When someone posts a thread i look for 2 main things at first 1. Whats there post count and join date im alot more likely to trust someone with 800 posts that joined last year then someone with 2 posts that joined last month 2. How Belivable is the hack. Lets say your looking for gunbound hacks how belivable is a hack that lets you fly and hit all people at once not very realistic be careful if a hack is too good to be true it probably is. I have perfect example of this just today im searching around bored and i see a post for an injector that makes patched hacks work naturally im curious i look at the thread knowing its bs allready so im looking at it just thinking to myself these 2 things lets see 1. He has 3 posts and joined in april, 2008 2. To make a injector that un-patched acks it would have to be able to code a re-code the hack (not gona happen) for the new update because after every patch the game changes its codes around so you cant keep using the same hacks (this is basicly how they patch hacks). Some people check for grammar because it is highly unlikly a 9 year old can code a hack possible but not as likely as a 36 year old. The logic here is if some1 tipes lik tis is it rlly lkly tey coded a haks.
The Number One Tip I Can Give You Is.......
Just Be Smart And Use Common Sense.
Well those are some tips hope they help im just trying to help.
