You update your firewall manually every day ? Really ? You add passthrough and forwarding rules based on what you are using that day ?

Or do you mean virus definitions ?
No , I do the usual firewall updates on windows 10. I run , betangel , BETDAQ, and BETFAIR,.and a handful more software.
This is not my main comp.it’s my trading laptop.
You could be onto something....

was shake up call from bill gate! ha !
for some stupid reason , ibelieved him when he said windows 10 defender is as good as a stadandard norton or basic bitdefender.
i now have the full premium protection from norton, for an offer £39(normally £89) , full malware,virus..etc,
vpn,10 devices ,parental lock tracking,vault,cloud storage 75GB.
i will be adding some few other steps for logging configurations .
Fool me once and the blame is on ignorance, fool me twice the blame is on me.

Just wear one of these and do a coordinated dance on tik tok to beat any virus.
Boris and Trump are not the only ones caught by surprise. :)

Hi all,
I am on a latest update of windows 10 set on a daily checkup, cleanup and I update my firewalls manually every single day , without fail.
Today at around 11.00 am, I went into the bookmaking and dutching tools and had some bets. The problem started when I touched the margin maker, this unleashed a virus into the system.
It’s like a program that follows my exact steps and knows exactly what I will do and then trigger the virus from a preprogrammed step By step follow
Up.
It has taken over 3yrs for my firewall to breakdown, And I consider myself fairly carefull.
Stay safe folks.viruses are watching.
NOT HACKED.
i did a total clean up and full diagnostics.
NO virus was found.!
I therefore consider the heading on the opening post misleading and hereby withdraw it .
I used the backup stages to roll back my system and go back to a point before i installed version1.55, and installed a heavy protection system and a different
administrative set up, then the problem re emerged after a couple of hours .
a bleeping noise during booting set up, and unstable software with jumping windows, that open and close themselves in multiple times .the only difference was , the laptop was not swtching off/on and blacking out like before.
it turned out to be an overheating problem and a mulfunctioning laptop keyboard was the main culprit. everything worked well once i got rid of it and connected a normal usb keyboard.
the laptop is an envy dv6 HP i7 and plenty of cpu and ram power. no problem editing 4k videos etc. but somehow went boiling once i used BA in the manner explained in the opening post.
it`s all fine now and i`m using BA without a glitch. may be the weather played a part too.

apologies for the false Alarm.
thanks.
