Keeping a Windows Machine safe? - iJack - Jul 13, 2016
Few questions here would love if anyone could answer.
>>What are some of the best practices for keeping a Windows environment safe from malware?
>> What is the risk of getting infected if you use the machine on a restricted account rather than administrator?
>>Do malware such as keyloggers and backdoors work under restricted accounts?
>>I've heard of specific backdoors that save right into your BIOS(?), how common are those and how can they be detected + removed?
Thanks to anyone that answers 😝
