Totally off topic

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

there are perfectly legitimate sites that will put a virus on your machine without you even realising it. hackers are very sophisticated these days. and their viruses may not even be picked up by security software updates for a couple of weeks which is why it's always a good idea to keep websites like online banking ones in your favourites and then copy and paste passwords etc from a word document where it isn't obvious what they are/relate to (should your pc ever get nicked). keystroke viruses are ones to look out for.

keystroke logging - what were you looking up? :shock: :typing: :shock:

My pc was very slow so I went into a geek forum and these were all recommended. I downloaded them free and i run them once a week.
