I have malwarebytes and avira, but still get startup viruses due to torrents. Any advice ?
>>280427
Install Win Vista.
>>280427
Get on private trackers :^)
>>280427
Stop downloading dodgy torrents
>my hand keeps hurting when I hit it with a hammer
>what should I do?
stop torrenting
>>280427
You could install Linux as an OS. A bit extreme but it works amazingly as it has little to no security vulnerabilities.
>>280427
What the hell are you torrenting? I've never gotten anything from a torrent. Granted, I don't pirate software.
>>280450
fuck u!
>>280457
>what ?
Someone was making fun of you in the private trackers thread.
A frogposter no less.

How the fuck?
>>280457
What the fuck did you download on Nyaa to get malware?
>>280480
Just sora no woto, are there anything else that can give me malware other than downloading torrents ?
>>280427
Ok lets for one second forget you're an idiot, how do you know you've got start up viruses, what are they called and what are they doing
>>280491
It's infinitely more likely that you got malware from browsing dodgy sites without an ad blocker.
>>280427
Have you considered paying for anti virus software?
I use Kaspersky and it protects me even on dodgy porn sites.
Just don't buy it from Kaspersky's site, get an activation code from ebay.

Ok, buddy, first things first.
How did you manage to make this connection? Are you sure?

Buddy, Nyaa's mods aggressively purge anything dodgy that gets uploaded to their site. Not just malware, but anything even remotely suspicious is pruned within minutes usually. There's a near-zero chance you got a virus or malware from a torrent on nyaa or any other well-reputed torrent tracker like it.
The most common ways people get viruses are malicious ads and clicking through porn sites. Get noscript and either ublock origin or adblock edge. If you're using a good adblocker and scriptblocker while surfing porn sites and the like it's like having unprotected sex with every nasty hooker you come across in the worst part of town.

>If you're using a good adblocker and scriptblocker
If you're not using, mean to say. Point is: stop going to dodgy websites without protecting yourself. You sound like you don't really know what you're doing and you should definitely educate yourself.
>>280622
It just makes you realize the vast majority of people are literally too stupid to pirate anything effectively. No wonder the porn industry still makes billions of dollars.

If you're not getting it from porn sites then it's probably malicious ads on whatever other sites you are browsing. Get noscript and a decent adblocker of your choice. Never disable your adblocker and start paying attention to scripts running on websites.
