Topic: Separate Computer for Bitcoin/Financial Information vs Personal? - page 5. (Read 3240 times)

I have avast and malwarebytes on my computer.  Is that good?


Also i have used my laptop where in certain sites, they have free password username for certain sites for you to use.  Such as netflix etc.  They have username/passwords there.  I have tried it with certain sites but not those.  But basically i used username/passwords to log into porn sites and it worked.  Is there a huge issue with that?  Logging in with a hacked username/password for porn site?  At first i thought no big deal.  But then i thought... couldn't that mean the uploader could know my ip address and other things?  Could bitcoins be taken from your laptop this way or not?

clicking image without aware will just result a virus and any malicious software,you should know that adobe flash is really vulnerable

best way is buying a dedicated server on popular virtual server provider (like IBM,microsoft Azure) but it'll be nothing if you can't keep the security or get a separated computer
if you ever using a crack/keygen then your computer was infected by malicious

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. 

I guess the only thing you can do is to buy a computer for the sole purpose of watching porn.

Make sure it can not connect to your main network though, else some sneaky virusses may find their way through your network.

In all seriousness, it might be wise to get a dedicated machine for high risk websites / downloads. Not only your bitcoins and bank accounts are at risk, but also your e-mail which is basically your online identity nowadays.

I also heard of virtual machines.  But would that be enough for that though?  Or you could still get a virus?  Basically i have a usb and an external hard drive as backup for my stuff.  But of course i don't want any of these to get infected as well.  Now if i only watch porn by streaming... obviously no issues.  But there is quite a lot of porn where it has to be downloaded and picture galleries that i have to download to watch though.

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.
