[color=black]Hey there, i just want to be safe from black hats and so on. I want a good security program but the ones that are on the shelf these days are just complete shit or they can be manipulated to let the hacker(s) through.🤦‍♂ crap.
So if there is no safe security program to defend your laptop from hackers, what safety is there apart from the lies those companies have been telling you. so i have decided to make m own but I'm clueless where to start.😧 if your experienced in this sort of stuff then can you help me out ?🙂 thanks.

The best security is to not be an idiot and download stupid files from the Internet. You don't need some program to tell you that.🤝

Just never open files without analyzing them first. I recommend getting Malwarebytes and Sandboxie. Run your files through Sandboxie for maximum protection.

You're trying to create your own Anti-Virus??? I don't really understand what you're saying... However if you're wanting a place to start. I made a thread with the source code using the ClamAV Anti-Virus Engine. In .Net/C# you can find it here: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4791135

So you want to be safe from hackers? Then get rid of all your electronic devices... Simple. 😉

No one is safe, every system has a flaw

Make sure your system is up-to-date with latest security patches installed.
Same goes to your Browser & plugins (Flash, Silverlight, Java).

Make sure you have Windows Update enabled, Windows Firewall enabled.

Use a good antivirus, ad-blocker.

Don't download crap from untrusted sources.
(Especially be careful with cracks/potential malware)

If you wanted to minimize the risk of getting infected, why would you be using windows?

[Vextoray]

For antivirus: Kaspersky (I use this personally), or Bitdefender These are on the pricey side, but these have great features and have great detection ratios. Also, consider getting Malwarebytes for getting rid of malicious files and such; additional protection is always a nice thing to have.

Consider getting a sandbox for viewing suspicious files if you are skeptical and wary.
(Or just don't download anything that seems unsafe; this is the best route to go on).

You can install linux if you're really paranoid.
There are no viruses in the wild 👹

If you do decide to install linux and would like to know how to stay secure just message me and i'll message you all my tips.

Totally agree.
I've been running ArchLinux on my laptop for the past 3 years.

However, the OP seems to be a Windows user IMO... e.g. my Windows tips.

Use 360 Security AV or Avira AV + MBAM and be careful when downloading files and stuff. Run it in a sandbox if you are suspicious about it. Sandboxie is a good program for running stuff in sandbox and its free. Do regular scans of your system, using both the AV that you have + MBAM. Use CCleaner to clean out the registry trash & clear out your history. Regular defrags ought to help too. Use IOBit Uninstaller when uninstalling for complete removal of the application.

Hope I helped,
