Can hackers penetrate your computer via TERB Forum? I see there are members on here with thousands of posts so they must be comfortable with security of the site?
Just wondering.

You sounded like you are a computer whiz. Correct me if I am wrong that my comp get infected only if I kept clicking on the links? Can hackers find your ip address from just typing messages like this? Where is the mod when you need himI use Linux which is far more secure than Windoz and therefore don't worry about a thing....
A good, up-to-date, anti-virus should take care of that problem for you! You may, however, get annoying pop-ups.To be safest, I wouldn't click on any links anyone posts. I got a virus and had to reformat my PC because of a porn link someone posted that I clicked on here, so Caveat Terbor!

Given that all you need to post here is a throwaway email address, and your IP address is obscured from the public, I'd say it's 'pretty safe'. Even if some / all Mods can see your IP address, there a long way to go to link that to you specifically. With that being said:Can hackers penetrate your computer via TERB Forum?

I was running full updated AVG at the time, and although it did provide an alert, the rootkit was still able to install itself and nothing could clean it. After that I lost faith in antivirus software, since it was useless and only slowed my system.A good, up-to-date, anti-virus should take care of that problem for you!

A virus scanner won't save you from a shitty OS. Anything that can go from exploiting a vulnerability of software that is running as a normal user to uncleanable rootkit, is by definition awful. (It's another thing if it's exploiting something running as root / admin.)I was running full updated AVG at the time, and although it did provide an alert, the rootkit was still able to install itself and nothing could clean it.

I have been able to clean another rootkit I got with "ComboFix", as well as other nasties with Malwarebytes. I also always check my Task Manager so I know what tasks are running when I reboot.
Only mods have access to the IP you are posting from. If you are concerned about your IP, then use a proxy server to change it, or run the ToR browser bundle.
