Hello folks
I wrote a similar thread 2 years ago, on otfans. Now I've updated it on otfans and thought I should post it here as well. I know that this is really simple, but still a lot of people do not know so. I’m going to explain on which ways you could get hacked and how to avoid it. Make sure to always be on the safe side. Hackers are everywhere, don’t give them a chance. Here goes..
I really hope you consider my thoughts. Pay attention, because I didn’t write this for fun. I know most of you won’t affect what I wrote, yet there are still a lot of people getting hacked. Because they aren’t aware of all the possible ways you could get hacked. As you see above, it’s a massive list of tips. Make sure you checked every single one.
I prepared a little list of things you should equip yourself with. Of course only if you don’t have a similar program already.
Microsoft Security Essentials
Very good antivirus program, it is free, and use less resources than the other alternatives! Quick install, very quick scanning.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0.237
Well known Anti-Virus program. It’s one of the best free Anti-Virus programs out!
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com
Avira AntiVir
Good Anti-Virus program. It’s also one of the best free Anti-Virus programs out! It comes with an included Firewall.
Download Free Antivirus Products
Windowsdefender
It’s an Anti-Spyware program. Download is from Microsoft. Really suggestible!
Windows Defender: Home Page
Zonealarm
I guess Zonealarm is probably one of the best free Firewalls you can get. If you are not secured with a Firewall, I recommend you to download Zonealarm.
ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.362 - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com
Online-Virus scanner
Thanks Xenios, I fully forget about those. I wrote it into my to-do list, but it still got lost. An online-virus scanner is really useful. Especially if you're really unsure about a file, just upload it to the site and let it check. Several diffrent anti-virus programs will check your file on maleware!

Thanks for reading.

I’m going to explain on which ways you could get hacked and how to avoid it. Make sure to always be on the safe side. Hackers are everywhere, don’t give them a chance. Here goes..
- Never share accounts. Even friends you know in real life may hack you. That’s mainly because Tibia is an addicting game.
- Never use your Tibia login for any Open Tibia server!
- Never use Cheats you actually don’t know. There are verified Cheats, but it’s still better to not cheat.
- Never store your Tibia login in any files on your computer. Well, actually you can, but never give it a name such as ‘Tibia login’.
- Never login on any other page you don’t typed into the address bar yourself. Type into the address bar www.tibia.com to be on the very safe side.
- Always scan your files that you are downloading. Make sure you always do that, when downloading from an Open Tibia community or even from a Tibia community. You really don’t want yourself ending up with a key-logger.
- Never answer to emails, saying that your Tibia login is needed to activate a certain something. Cipsoft will never ask for such!
- Never log on a real mates computer, when you are not 100% sure that he has not installed a key-logger to hack you. As said above it is an addicting game and even real life friends may hack you!
- Do not use multi clients, unless you did it yourself.
- Make sure that you have a safe and good email provider. Hotmail is one of the worst you could have, because it’s probably the easiest to hack. I suggest you to create an extra email for the tibia account only. Gmail (Googlemail) is probably a good option.
- Remember that any file can contain a key-logger / backdoor virus, but they need to be executed as *.bat/ *.exe / *.scr~
- Consider using Firefox or Opera instead of Internet Explorer!
- Never give out your Tibia login to anyone.
I really hope you consider my thoughts. Pay attention, because I didn’t write this for fun. I know most of you won’t affect what I wrote, yet there are still a lot of people getting hacked.
