And by the way, every person here should have the habit of checking their task manager and performance daily also weird connections. I found probably like 5-10 of my own stubs on my PC last 2 weeks so its fine.

Remember this, security is only as strong as the person building and using it. Best security I'd the world is common sense trusting only yourself and extremely user controlled Anti intrusion. ZoneAlarm Pro firewall and appguard with hitman pro and malwarebytes you'll be fine.

It's amazing to see some of the people who purchase illegitimate items without doing any background research first! 😉

Exactly and people are only know beginning to catch on. This is why you don't buy electronics from eBay or China, etc. If you actually open up an iPhone charger from China you will see a lot of crap you shouldn't.
