Before I go to these websites with my new computer, are they safe to go to?

[TheBrandominator]

I am just wondering if Facebook.com and Runescape.com will in any way significantly slow down my brand new computer if I go to them because of any types of viruses or infectious bugs or cookies. Or are they pretty safe to go to for the most part?

They're very safe. Use a safe browser (meaning: not internet explorer), and you will be fine.

Lol they're really safe until you click those sketchy posts and scams people post on fb. Just warning ya

If they weren't a lot of us would be in real trouble.

facebook has infections like any other web page you go to , runscape is a safe site by mywot.com but that doesn't mean your download will be ( beware )
install http://mywot.com
it will tell you when you go to a bad site or try to download a bad one

Just going to those websites you should be fine, however infections are still possible. You won't ever be 100% protected from malware but you can get pretty close. Follow these steps and your computer should be running smoothly for a long time.
1. Avast AV - It's free and works really well. Has real time scanners that scan webpages and blocks attempted malware downloads. I have seen this work very well and have hardly had any malware get through due to this.
2. Malwarebytes AntiMalware - It's free and should be installed in case malware does get through Avast you can scan and remove it easily. It finds lot's of malware that AV's and others miss.
3. SuperAntiSpyware - Same as Malwarebytes (Both should be updated and run weekly/bimonthly/monthly in case you don't notice an infection.)
4. CCleaner - It's free and removes Temp Files and can fix registry. Should be run weekly/bimonthly.
5. A good ad blocker such as your host file. (Google host file and go to the mvps.org website for more info.) If using the host file you should check monthly for a new one.
6 A good firewall such as Comodo.
7. Be careful around adult websites.
8. If you pirate, be careful and read comments or use private sites.
9. Routinely physically clean your computer. Remove dust.
10. Backup important files regularly using a flash drive or external hard drive.

yeah all you need is to have a internet security antivirus that will ward off any threats that you might encounter as you are not much knowledgeable about computer and internet, so you can install them if you bought them or just install a trial version of them, that will do in time you get a paid one upto a month (trial period is of 30 days), you can try Avast or Norton or Kaspersky, these are the ones i trust and use, and yeah remember we just need one of them not all.

have a nice day and happy new year
