Don't use cracked software.  If you're not already infected you risk getting infected by something added to the cracked download.  

indeed.

just spent 25 USD and buy a proper antivirus programm like Kaspersky!

with a hardware wallet like trezor you can even handle your BTC on an infected PC
(but a clean pc is always a better choice isnt it?  Smiley )

-make sure your antivirus is up to date (i would buy one).

-scan you pc.

-use the addon "no script" for your pc (firefox addon)

I install right now AVAST(cracked from torrent). I will try to scan with AVG then.

BTW the options from that notification from windows if I remember correctly was

Try to install again(Recommend) and
Send bla bla details to microsoft.

But I closed the notifaction from the "X" button. I think that websited "tried" to install something malicious but from that notifaction all i can say is it fail.... but who knows? I have to be sure I will scan the computer and even like that you never know with these bastards and their virused with are undetectable against antivirus. Thats why I don't use a antivuris because I don't trust them or any other software security, robots(antiviruses) they can't analyze like a human, big difference.

Hi, I just visited a weird aka scam aka malicious website and it pop up something and then i recivied a notification box from windows which says "the program wasn't installed correctly" with Unknown Publisher.... you know that notification when i try to install something and it crash and says this notification... yes that notification and I'm already scared I don't see nothing weird or malicious on process(task manager) but is it possible to be already virused? maybe keylogger maybe i don't know! But is weird!!! I don't have any antiviruses and I don't use any stop script on my browser(mozilla), my windows is w7 64x. Also I have to say I didn't clicked nowhere and I don't click on "Run" or stuff like that...just visited and pop-uped in background I even don't seen it... I see it after I closed the website and minimized. Any help?
