6. Do NOT share your RuneScape account with anyone else!

Not even your best friend! A HUGE number of players have lost their account this way. Not only is this an extremly stupid thing to do, it's also against the rules. So we won't help you when you come crying to us!

7. Make sure your computer is secure!

Most windows distributions are NOT secure unless you take some basic precautions:

  • If you use windows get the latest updates and security fixes for your computer from windowsupdate.microsoft.com This is a MUST!
  • Install some up to date anti-virus software. I personally use Norton-Antivirus. Alternatively you can get a free virus scanner from www.grisoft.com
  • Install a firewall to protect your computer from external attacks. You can get free firewall software from www.zonealarm.com
  • Be very careful about what programs you run to avoid a trojan being installed on your machine. For more information about trojans, and how to remove them see www.hackfix.org
