Malware on Cash Sites

[JaniceSW]

I would be interested in what your experience has been on getting problems with your computer using these cash sites.  Do you take any precautions?  What are they?

I don't have a problem with FC. I haven't really tried other cash sites.  But basically, just surfing in general, have an anti-virus and anti-malware programs installed and up to date. I use AVG anti-virus, Malware-bytes and Super anti-spyware.

I visit a handful of earning sites every day.  I use free anti-virus software; specifically, AVAST.  I'm happy with it and I also have other free software I've downloaded.  I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and CCleaner to clean up temporary files.  I use CCleaner a lot.  Lastly, I password protect my administrator account on my computer and I use the guest account to do everything so anyone who might "spy" on my computer won't be able to make changes to my computer without the password.

I have not run into any problems but that could be because I have a program called "Advanced System Care" that blocks anything harmful to my computer .. it was pretty cheap (12.97 for a year for 3 computers) and well worth the money

I use Norton

I have never had a problem with any of the sites I use.  I also do not use any sites that track my online activity and promise to reward me for online activity.

As with the other members who have mentioned, I have never experienced any issues with any of my sites.  I've been working on earning sites for a number of years and have had no problems at all.  In most every case, I will skip offers that require a download of some sort.  I'm a little leery downloading anything other than the normal software for my computer i.e.. updates and so forth.

 sherryinutah where is a save place to download this from  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware ?

I have not had any problems, I use the AVG virus/malware  protection and it has worked  fine for me for many years, so hope it continues to do so in the future.

Thanks for all your input thus far.  It is interesting to hear what everyone uses and does about this issue.

No special precautions other than what I consider normal for me.  AVAST! anti-virus, Malware Bytes anti-malware, CCleaner runs every morning when I boot up, and if I think there may be a problem that my anti-virus or anti-malware isn't catching, I keep McAfee Stinger, Panda Anti-Root Kit.  I can't say I've had any Drive-By Downloads in years.  Using Firefox, it will stop you from visiting any suspicious pages, and AVAST! always tells me when there's any malware present on any pages (and stops them).

Download Malware Bytes here:  https://www.malwarebytes.org/

I use Norton's and have not had any problems. I also use Malwarebytes.

Norton saves my computer so much from this crap.
