Internet Browsing - Safety Tips

#3: Also stay away from torrent, crack and warez sites - these are commonly infested with malware drive-by downloads. (not to mention that pirated software tend to have malware themselves) #7: Antivirus isn't enough nowadays - you will need an antimalware software (unless you are using Emsisoft...

What are you currently playing?

I'm playing several things at once: Hitman: Blood Money, Hitman: Absolution, late into Portal 2, started Crysis 2. Still got Plague Inc. Evolved and Far Cry 3 in the back burner, although Plague Inc. Evolved is mainly to get achievements now.

Think twice before buying Seagate Barracuda Hard drives!

I once had a discussion about this article on Bleeping Computer... find it kinda odd that Backblaze would use consumer-grade HDDs for industrial use.
