WILL SKYPE CHAT FOR 3 MILLION COMPOUND COIN
I just ran Malwarebytes and I found 11-12 different items that needed to be quarantined. I realized this was from several faucets that have pops ups that I have never seen before.

One was SatoshiBakery which was odd because it was a ripple faucet. I thought ooh cool but it said it only gives every 15 mins but it was giving at 5 mins just random. Next thing I know my entire computer's power stating something like 2,8650MB for memory. I have never freaking seen that on my computer like it's working in overdrive or something. So it appears they're hijacking people's computer's and using it to mine.

The other faucet was faucethub. For every claim I made  it was as if they had 5 captchas and then all of these pops ups some of which were 4 on one page, 2 on another page. I realized that many of these places are receiving high revenue dollars for pretty much spamming the hell out of the people showing up to faucet collect. I just don't recall it ever being this bad before where I'm clicking left and right. It's insane. I abandoned ship when I realized their "up to starting point" was actually their minimum. There's no way I was going through all of that and decided eh keep the coins it's not worth the drama.

The other site was coinfaucet.io first off it had me create an account but wouldn't let me in and kept popping up all of these ads yet the button to "log in" was frozen. I tried the guy on twitter but he gavee me the "try it again". Nah I get it I'm in the U.S. so you'll get tier $$$ profits from my IP clicking that crap. No thanks. Seems like it's the same guy from Satoshi Bakery.

Best to just go to the ones you know and trust because since btc's rise there have been shady activities left and right.

Recently, in my private messages on the forum, there are a lot of messages from beginners with all sorts of links, I already do not know what to think, blocking all at once does not always work. I need to somehow secure my account

Do you mean your bitcointalk account? how can you secure that?
Yes, I meant it. There are ways of different associated with the purse bitcoin, you can bind your forum account to a purse of a bitcoin or account. I know how to do it right now.

FIRST SELF-SUSTAINING CRYPTO INFRASTRUCTURE
   This MALWARE issue has always been a menace and a major threat to online usage. Its weird to think that some people work this hard to be a nuisance to others. My recommendations are to a good antivirus with internet securities and follow some useful principles when surfing the net.

The forum is increasingly writing that private messages come from new registered accounts with some kind of link, and if you click on the link, they can steal your account. So be careful guys, do not go to unknown links

These hackers are getting incredibly smart
install a good antivirus so that your work is not disturbed by it. I also recommend you to keep your wallet offline and store your wallet in liquidity.

Guys I've heard that it's better to use an apple computer than other computers such as laptops and the operating system Windows XP, I've heard that an apple is a more secure system for using. It's true?

  yeah winXP is so old you can't even GPU mine from it. win7 or 8.1 still work good, but effort is needed in those systems to remove M$ spyware recently introduced as updates, Win10 so useless... so yep Mac or Linux is the best choice, i'd highly reccomend Linuxmint for a beginner  Smiley  (you can install it to dual-boot on your windows machine, just be careful not to erase windows...)
                                                                                                                      https://linuxmint.com
I thought so, thanks for writing your opinion on this issue. I'm thinking of buying an apple to store all the crypto currency, and I'll use other computers to install wallets from other small projects, since this is less risky.

Cybercriminals are now targetting Macs too. I would store mine on an iPhone but if you lose your phone you are screwed. Best storage option is still hardware wallets.
For me, unfortunately, storing my tokens on the phone is not an option, I very often break it and lose it, it's dangerous for me. I was thinking of buying a removable purse for crypto currency, but it's insanely inconvenient for me personally.

Thanks for the tips. Security is a big issue here since lots of us are using hot wallet to trade on sometimes exotic platforms...

Good Morning
This sounds really scary, but I guess that where is the money, there are also malversations 

Anyhow, you always need to be careful...
With this you are right, where a lot of money is tied, there will always be people who will want to eat this pie))
