Arrred games?
Kazzandra:
All I have to add to this is that Comodo, once trained, is highly efficient and only asks for input with installers. I have not had a single piece of malware (okay, to be fair, I've only had two during my usage of PCs, and one of them came from BastDawn's Sims1 site back in the day :D) since I have used it. Norton did let a trojan slip through and it was suck suck suckety suck. Norton should be boycotted like EA. Do not buy Norton suck.

Prescription: Turn off UPnP on your router.
Unfortunately, that's not always an option -- my DirecTV HD DVR connects to the computers to play audio and video files, but it fails to function if UPnP is turned off in the router. (Or more specifically, the video/audio sharing on the PCs fails if UPnP isn't enabled.)
Since the attacks are delivered through scripts in Flash, it's a good practice to whitelist your script-enabled domains. Again, either FlashBlock or NoScript won't display Flash objects in non-whitelisted sites.

I use McAffee, which comes included with Comcast Internet (though they aren't very public about it). Anti-virus is fine, though I really don't get to test it. I run scans with McAffee, Panda Active Scan, Ewido, and AdAware monthly and haven't gotten anything but cookies come up since I had Vundo almost two years ago. The firewall is great. I have it at Tight security and it is definitely blocking things and very paranoid about changes in Internet software (like MMORPGs). I wouldn't pay for it if I wasn't already, though.

Gah! I'm so sorry. My AngelFire site is teh suck. >:( I made myself a shiny new site over the weekend; I would have done it much sooner had I known.

Sucks for me. I don't post much here, for I prefer to watch the roastings from afar. But I was actually approaching the idea of posting nearly the same question: where does a novice go to brush up their pirate-y skills and stop supporting EAxis? I finally caved today and got FT, needing to see what exactly I am missing out on. Damn it all, and was hoping to find a, er, cheaper way to play when AL comes out.
I have Norton, and also a penchant for being attacked by viruses each time I make an attemp at getting my hot little hands on an arrred game. Suppose I will need to change out my anti virus for something better? >:(
