And that's why you should have anti-virus and anti-adware software on your machine. People have heard enough about virii over the past couple years through the news that there is no excuse not to have software installed. Especially considering there are free ones out there.

I think cyber criminals are scumbags and there is a special circle of hell built just for them where they will be buggered repeated by an orginal Apple mouse wielded by Bill Gates (alternate Steve Jobs on Fridays) in all their orifaces for the rest of eternity.

If I enbale a screensaver, it bluescreens, I think I beat you, Jaelin.
Anyway, the firewall stops this crap for me. The only time I had a problem was when my brother shut down evrything that was running to get more processor power and RAM for a game, and managed to let Sub7 slip by the antivirus. I got up in the morning, some kid had used Sub7 to hijack my copy of Kazaa and download porn. Why the hell couldn't he just put it on his own damn computer? All that I'll say is that he wasn't smart enough to protect his own computer and I messed with his head a bit, but nothing harmful. |

The sad thing is how easy this shit is to do. As someone with a less than stellar internet past, I've served warez on mIRC networks. Basically all this porn ring has done is scan then root a large number of computers to send out these email/popup spam-attacks and reap some benefit. It's no different than scanning then rooting a box for a warez net, and they're using far less bandwidth and hard-drive space than an XDCC bot or FTP site runs for one of those nets. I don't know how someone could have 80 gigs of a box magically disappear and not notice, then turn around when their net connections get warned for exceeding bandwidth and STILL fail to notice. Technically it's not hard to do what these fellas have done, it just takes time and patience.
