If you have the money, go for it. If not, it's fine.

The other option would be if you could download the Tails OS, which can be booted from a DVD or a USB Memory stick or external media. Every time you reboot, it starts with a fresh OS, so keyloggers and viruses cannot be stored. It keeps no logs of your activity, so that is a added bonus and it comes with the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet pre-installed.
Have fun, using this OS. ^smile^

I would also suggest separate computer for financial and personal. Because internet is full of virus, wormware, and so on so visiting any unsafe site could cost you a heavy load on your wallet. So better invest some extra money and get a low end pc just for managing financial business. It would be super safe.

hey guys. Yes i know many people cannot buy another laptop. But for the laptop for porn, obviously that laptop i want a very cheap one. Thus if i have an old laptop from many years ago that i no longer use and that probably isn't worth more than $200, well that surely is good enough. Or its a laptop thats worth $80, thats good enough.
But i don't have an old laptop because my old laptop broke. The max i would spend on a new laptop for porn would probably be $300 i think. I thought chromebook seemed to be best idea since its under $200 and because its new but screen is very small and there is not much space. Because say i buy it for porn, eventually i can sell it back and it would be in pretty good condition. Wouldn't i probably get half of it back etc? Thus the chromebook only cost $100 or so etc. But i read video watching isn't that good though. I would connect it to external monitor but many times i would to have it by itself.

Having a separate computer for financial dealings is good idea, but not everyone is able to buy two laptops, from my point of view no need to have two computers, you can download some programs which will protect your laptop from any threat, even they will tell you when you click suspicious link or download suspicious file, I recommend malwarebytes, I also use 360 total security as additional option.

You will get either virus or malware with time, because of watching things like that. Neither good antivirus, neither virtual machine will help. Nowadays there are very developed viruses and malware, so you need very experienced computer man, which can suggest you the right way - and it is not easy.

i will suggest you to keep seprate computer or pc system . because many porn sites are filled with junk of viurs and can steal your data . so keep separate system for separate business .

Our computer in always vulnerable to hackers so it's best to way to keep separate computer for bitcoin/financial and for personal. Having separate computer will make us secure at latest from hackers.

I have a laptop that i do everything on. Basically use it for anything financial related such as bank accounts, electrum wallet, bitcoin wallet etc. I stream youtube, watch sites etc so far with no issue. My issue though is i like to watch porn. Now i do watch porn through those streaming sites like xvideos, porhhub etc which doesn't seem to give me any issues.
The other thing though is i like to download porn from sites online. Reason is because these videos you cannot stream it through pornhub, xvideo etc. The other thing is i like to click on preview images of porn pictures. I always done this without any issue. But i was told that clicking on links are not really safe since a porn link for an image could cause a virus.
Basically the big main sites. I was told in those forums... links for porns and images are usually very safe as long as the posters who posted it are long time posters and have a lot of likes by other members. I believe they said a lot of these links are looked at by the site in case there is a virus, it would get deleted. Of course someone who posted the video that is safe could later edit it etc.
I assume anyone here that has a laptop that does that bitcoin and financial information... you have separate computer for that... and one for your porn and other stuff? By other stuff that means like downloading torrents etc. I read someone mentioned that he downloaded some video game that was pirated and all his bitcoins got lost because of that. That the uploader put a trojan/virus etc. I don't download any torrents at all. I do however like to download porn videos from depositfiles, rapidshare etc. I also do make sure those posters are long time posters. But i also like to download certain videos in another forums where even though they maybe long term posters, i dont know if videos are safe or not. I have so far when downloaded those videos... haven't had an issue in a while with my laptop due to this. Such that i use it for banking with no issue.
But i have not done this with a bitcoin wallet on my computer. Does anyone here have advice on this? I'm sure many of you like to download porn, click on images whether its porn or something else or download torrents etc. Is it always a bad idea if you do this on your laptop where you have bitcoins stored? I read any exe file is very bad. Then again how would i even know a file is exe. Couldnt it be another file but its really exe?
Also if this thread is not put in the right subforum, can it be put in the correct subforum? I believe it does belong on bitcoin discussion though.

Just install a good anti-virus program and check your PC more often.
You can use a virtual machine or a sandboxed browser.Just doenlaod and install Sandboxie.
Bitcoin related malware can be really nasty.

I've never heard of anyone that uses two computers for daily tasks.
Hi. What do you mean don't connect it to main network. You mean dont allow that computer that watches porn to watch porn thorough my internet connection? If so... you want me to get 2 internet connections? One for porn... one for regular use? Isn't that a bit excessive?
Yes so im looking for advice for anyone who knows a lot about this. I mean im sure all of you guys watch porn. But unless you all stream it... then its no issue. But im sure a lot of you click on pics etc so even that takes precaution.
Its very scary to have bitcoin wallet get hacked and thus i been very careful with my main laptop.
There are viruses that can do that, and if you want to be completely secure, then getting another internet connection might not be a bad thing.

In my early times I did some faucet typing.
I used a seperate computer for that without any flash on it. I think it was a wise choice.
After I quit faucets the computer fas set up new and is now my experimetal machine. For programming and whatever comes in my mind.
My main computer is for everything that involves data about me. Managing bank account, ebay and so on.

having multiple antiviruses on your computer is not going to protect you more, it can obviously slow your computer and it also can cause some problems for you as they WILL interfere with each other's work.
as for your concerns, i told you before on this forum to start using cold storage. learn what linux is and download a distro that you like and use it as "live and without network access" and you will stay safer.
Multiple antiviruses are bad idea as you said it will interfere with each other. But having antivirus and anti-malware tool is recommended.as for your concerns, i told you before on this forum to start using cold storage. learn what linux is and download a distro that you like and use it as "live and without network access" and you will stay safer.
Currently I am using standard antivirus + Malwarebytes Antimalware, you can add other programs like ADW Cleaner to this combo as well.

Can someone here confirm that using a virtual machine will be fine and no need for 2nd computer? Because my main computer will be using everything, bitcoin, online poker, bank login etc. And of course downloading porn from a few sites. The thing is those videos that i download, whether its on a good computer or very cheap computer, i will only download from users who have posted a ton of videos but most importantly, have an old registered date. Such that if someone registered for an account not that long, i will most likely not download the video. Thus even if it was a computer i dont use anymore, i won't do that since theres a very high chance there is a virus/trojan and then i have to have laptop formatted.
Thus only downloading videos from users that seem to post a lot.
The other thing is if i do buy another laptop, what laptop would you suggest? I had thought how about a chromebook, cost less than $200. The thing is i can always sell it back later for probably $80 later on? However the one thing is im not sure if chromebook can play all videos or download everything because apparently it uses the web browser only? Also its very slow and processor is slow. Thus the best option would be having an old laptop you dont need anymore and use it. Can someone here give me more feedback on this? Because i have to order a new laptop soon if thats the case. So if i get laptop, get chromebook or get a used laptop? I think a laptop is much better since its more space as 16gb which probably is 14gb max on chromebook is very little space. Now if someone here can tell me they use virtual machine and download everything porn torrents etc on it and dont have an issue, then i will do this. But when you do this, if u do get virus on the Virutal Machine, you just shut it down and power back on? Or you still have to format it?

when you say offline, u mean paper wallet? The issue is i cannot do this as i do move bitcoins around. I mean if you are storing bitcoin where you won't touch it for a long time its different.
I like to know does anyone here set a Virtual Machine and do this for porn.

i think you are addicted to see porn .
i will onky say that keep your professional and personal pc separate seprate . because many pirn sites causes carder scam . if you get scammed than you can't tell who steal your deatil .
either way you should hold bitcoins in seperate computer in order to avoid it being stolen by someonei will onky say that keep your professional and personal pc separate seprate . because many pirn sites causes carder scam . if you get scammed than you can't tell who steal your deatil .
