yah, I have no sympathy for them, they need to be caught, and publicly hung.

On my laptop now, since I have to reinstall on my maun machine, some freakin root kit, impossible to remove except by formating

It does suck and i think we can come up with a better way than just hanging them , that only lasts a few minutes Evil or Very Mad Twisted Evil

Oh man, yeah... I do PC repair, and 90% of it is cleaning up these messes... There is this one going around which I cannot find, but after a cleanup, it causes updates to fail, and IE7 wont reinstall, and whenever IE is opened, the browser locks up... Reformatting is the only thing I've found to fix it :-C

But then again, I'd be out of a job if they stopped!!

Virus writers are just sad little ****ers who do that because they think they have something to prove.

Spyware writers do it often because they get paid.

Dear Mr. Chiefish,

death by hanging is a respectable death. If the neck does not break, provoking instant passing away of the subject, the slow suffocation involved in the manoeuver can take up to a couple of a dozen minutes to make the subject out of business on this world.

I do sincerely believe that it's just ridicule to have that sort of short time span as a punishement.

Forced labour for 20 years, and be sure: they won't do it again.

-------

That sounds very totalitarian.

Merry Christmas!! Smile
