Attention cool dude virus writers!

rant alert
There, thought that would bring you in. You're c*nts, the lot of you. Virus, spyware, malware, trojan and tracker programmers.

Just needed to be said. Perhaps it was the reaction you wanted but I'm not saying it lightly. Its true. You're all scum.

I haven't lost anything off my computer, or suffered any great disruption (apart from some recent instability). But my recent updates to virus checker and pair of spyware catchers shows about fifty things that managed to slip by the old versions, which were only a couple months gone. Consider what that means for someone who DOESNT know where their towel is, electronic security wise, for a moment. (Oh, BTW I have a firewall, and hardly ever touch internet explorer with a pole - outlook isn't even installed)

What that result means is that in the intervening months some of you sociopaths have been busy at work figuring out new and ingenious ways to get your identity-stealing, usage tracking, system compromising SH*T into people's computers, around their firewalls and painstakingly researched spy-and-virus-blocking/killing software since it's last release.

Seriously, don't you have anything better to do? Donate your CPU runtime to the anti-cancer drug search molecular modelling project, something like that?

Morons.

i'm not in a very forgiving mood for fools and dipsh*ts at the moment, least of all anonymous dipsh*ts whose only goal in their sad lives is to create a program that will hack my computer and spread havoc ... havoc they probably won't even get to witness, merely watch. can't we trace their IP, strongarm their ISPs and divert the next terrorist threat to THEIR home?

The saddest thing of all is that they must have some real spark of programming talent to figure out the exploits and tricks they use, smarts that could really get them somewhere if applied creatively and positively, make a difference in the world. With idiots this clever (hmm?), who needs dumb enemies?

rofl! - you Frood!

Know what you mean, spent last weekend cleaning my girlfriends parents computer. Nothing on it except Tetris, Golf and Solitaire but someone still thinks its worth the time trying to hack it.

If these people are so obsessed with creating virus programs why don't they apply themselves to something more creative? I.e. something that stops viruses?

You go Tahrey

Feels good to have a rant like that, doesn't it!?

My problem is that I know how to work various computer programs. I would say I am pretty literate but I hate firewalls/anti virus/spyware etc because I don't have the first clue how to stop it.

I've had the same pop up on my laptop for about a year and no matter what software I run to get rid it just can't be found. *f*cking angry smiley face*

just have to do it SOMEWHERE, because the preferable alternative - finding these guys and wrecking a load of their stuff in front of their eyes, before administering a damn good physical beating as well - is not possible...

plus it may stand as a warning.
did an overdue update last week and a full system scan... avast picked up several java-based browser shafters and other (thankfully very minor) viruses that the older one missed. I need to see how much a registered version costs as the free one's update license expires in a few days time, and i think thirty quid a year or whatever would be VERY worth it, even if i don't spend another quid on software ever.

currently i'm puzzling over what in the world has hacked internet explorer to block just three of the "protections" the latest version of Spybot has attempted to apply... 2003 of the 2006 current ones work, but the others won't stick. maddening. this has happened before and i just can't remember how to beat it!

If you're ever stuck try www.computercops.biz they're pretty clued up and pretty helpful, they helped me get rid of a page hijack
