That would make you worse than the scammer calling you. You become part
of the problem. Until you *agree* to commit some action on your own
computer, they haven't done anything illegal to your property. At best,
they might've violated the Do-Not-Call list *if* you subscribed. Are
you going to ASK them if you can commit harm to their property as
eventually they will ASK you to grant access to your computer or ASK you
for your credit card number? What do you think will be their response
when you ask for access and permission to harm their computer(s) or
telephony equipment?


*Legally*, with the twisted legal systems in both our countries, you're
probably right. *Morally* ... well, they're wanting to do evil to me who
hasn't ... well, to use the example usually quoted in crime series I
_have_ had parking tickets, but I think have always been successful in
challenging them; whereas I'd be wanting to do evil to people who have
done evil to many and will continue. *Practically*: I'm not going to
succeed (or even try) anyway, as I don't have the necessary skills (and
CBA) - but if I did, I can't _really_ see them complaining to the
authorities ...

Anything you add for security will slow the computer but it shouldn't be
significant or prolonged. Security software is to protect the computer, not
the primary use of the computer.
