24floor Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hello, I always try to run the download .exe / installation files in a virtual environment or sandbox like to limit as much as possible - within my limited technical knowledge - trojan or virus risks. What other security methods you use and would recommend to get closer to 100% safety of downloaded applications? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few quick tips for when you’re at the final stage. 1. Make sure your active malware or virus scanner has scanned the file 2. During installation, always choose the “Custom” installation process 3. Avoid giving out your email address during installation if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
