How did I get infected with MyNewsGuide?
Torrents, fake software updates, spam messages and freeware/shareware bundling. You’ve heard these terms before, haven’t you? These are the most commonly used malware distribution methods. And guess what. They have something in common. All of them rely on your negligence to succeed. That is right. If you were a bit more careful, you could have prevented the MyNewsGuide infection. How? Well, let’s take the bundling method for an example. When you start the installation of a software bundle, you will face two setup options: a standard one and an advanced installation. Which one do you prefer? If your answer is the standard one, change your habits! This process is completely automatic. Once you initiate it, you lose control over it. The standard installation wizard will install all extras without your further approval. Use the advanced setup instead. Under it, you will be presented with a list of all extras that are about to be installed. Do not rush. This is the tricky part. Take your time to understand what you are approving on your device. Malicious programs are often attached to such bundles. Only your vigilance can prevent their installation. Read the terms and conditions/EULA! If you spot anything out of the ordinary, abort the installation immediately. Keep in mind that you can deselect all extras and still install the program you originally planned to set up!
