Not able to remove spy wallpaper
Why don't you tell the op how to fix his system without downloading a
program. The program I told him to get can ONLY be download from me because I wrote it. You have a lot to learn about spyware, what it does and how to remove it. It is obvious to me that you know NOTHING!. I have a right to be arrogant when people like you attack my character and accuse me of illegally hosting files and stealing others work. If I was stealing work and illegally hosting files then the Author of those files would make me stop. The fact of the matter is You think I am pcbutts1, your ignorance thinks that that is my real name so when you report me you tell them that pcbutts1 is doing this illegally. Their initial reaction is to deny that I have permission. When they contact me and I identify myself then everything is ok. Why the hell do you think I am still doing it. Do you think people like Lavasoft, PepiMK, Ewido, Steve Gould, Steve Gibson, Sysinternals, Ipswitch, Cederick, Symantec, Watchnet, Network Solutions, and the 20 or so other vendors, authors, and manufactures I do business with are Idiots? Let me see you hosts somebody's files and watch how fast it gets snatched. They don't play around. Your problem is you are ****ed because you can't stop me and you can't prove anything because I have done nothing wrong. Are far as my name changing, it was done at the request of MS to avoid flame wars in their NG by people like you and to not embarrass those MVP's including Mr. Eddy because of their bias in this situation and my name changes only in the MS NG. Now get lost. "Nepatsfan" wrote in message . .. Thanks for confirming that my initial impression of you was correct. You only participate in these newsgroups to boost your fragile ego. Who are you kidding! You're not here to help people. If you were, you wouldn't be directing people to download programs from your personal web site. Let's consider why these people are asking for assistance. The vast majority of the questions you respond to are posted by people who somehow downloaded and installed a piece of spyware. They blindly trusted that the application was benign. So what do you do? You tell them to do the exact same thing, download an unknown application from an unknown web site. Instead of educating them on how to protect themselves from internet pests, you simply reinforce the behavior that got them in trouble in the first place. As for directing people to the developer's web site, I don't know how long you've been in this country but in the USA there's such a thing as respecting the rights that other people have to their property, both real and intellectual. I know if it was my work you were stealing, the ISP hosting your web site would be hearing from my lawyer. This statement of yours says it all, "I give answers. My answers have never been wrong". That's priceless! No one who participates in these newsgroups would make that statement if they weren't dangerously arrogant. Do you know what the worst flaw of a truly arrogant individual is? Nothing is ever their fault. It's always someone else who messed up. They can never admit they made a mistake. It's that flaw that makes them a poor source of advice. When their suggested course of action goes awry, they walk away from the chaos they've helped create and blame it on the person who asked for their assistance. You might want to take some of your own advice. Grow up! Start acting like a responsible adult and you'll be treated like one. Nepatsfan Tom Jones wrote: Helping is the key word here.

They want answers. They do not ant to be shoved off to another forum or website, have to register, retype their issue, then wait again for another answer, in the mean time they still have a problem. When you send them to a link and say try this, this may help, those are guesses and there is nothing wrong with that because there is an attempt to fix the problem. Sending them to another group to ask again is not helping. I give answers. My answers have never been wrong. You ,Leythos, David, Max, and now Nepatsfan have nothing better to do but attack me. I changed my name to stay away from people like you and this group has been better off because of it. I have made well over 25 posts to this group alone this week and because you did not know who was me everything was ok. Why is it such a big deal to you where I work? Is it because there is nobody to complain too? are you afraid someone going to be knocking at your door?. Thank you for reading my headers, you pointed out a mistake in my host name so I changed it. All of you are acting like little jealous kids and you need to grow up. You have already admitted that you can't stop me so why do you insist on wasting you time trying.

They're not your personal forums. As soon as you start following those guidelines, you'll stop hearing from people who object to your behavior. Until that time, you're going to have to learn to live with, as you put it, being "stalked" and "persecuted". Nepatsfan Well put Nepatsfan, Consider this the equivalent of neighborhood watch. None of us really have the power to physically do anything about pcButts and his many personas, but we can make the unsuspecting poster aware of his agenda and level the playing field. There is something inherently suspicious about someone that is not willing to play by the rules, especially internet and newsgroup rules that are probably the most lenient of all restrictions you will ever encounter, which also makes the online community so venerable to the likes of pcButts..

Never, ever download a program or file from a link that starts with an IP address. If the URL doesn't include the entire domain name, somebody may be trying to hide something. Whenever you're advised to download anything in these forums, make sure that you're directed to a trusted source or the developer's web site. The link that Malke gave you does exactly that. Her site includes links to web sites where you can download legitimate versions of the latest release of those programs. Downloading and running a program from an anonymous source could make a bad situation worse than it already is. The links that have been posted by "Ali Akbar" direct you to the web site of someone who previously posted under the name pcbutts1. Pcbutts1 is an arrogant, delusional fraud who is a well known menace in these newsgroups. Anything associated with him or his personal web site should be viewed as being highly suspect. Good luck Nepatsfan |

Not able to remove spy wallpaper
Did you ask this guy before you stole his program?
Dave's World http://www.noahdfear.geekstogo.com/ Smitrem.exe http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click...click.php?id=1 It's amazing how similar his program is to the one you say you wrote. In case you're not familiar with the term, that's plagiarism. I can think of only a few things in this world that are worse than being a plagiarist. And please don't tell me you're Dave. This split personality thing you've got working is starting to get out of hand. Or how about Microsoft. Did you ask them for permission to include taskkill.exe as part of your smithrem.zip folder? Taskkill.exe is only included with the XP Professional Support Tools. There's no way you got permission to provide a Microsoft product through your web site.

You did not write the smitRem (or smithrem as you have renamed it), I did. I see you have updated it to the latest version however, which is 2.7 and uses swreg.exe and process.exe instead of the MS files reg.exe and taskkill.exe........problem is, you're such an idiot that you failed to replace my name with yours everywhere it appears in the tool. I'd bet you don't even know where swreg comes from..........or why it's required. Please remove my tool from your site, and refrain from stealing other people's work in the future. You should also stop illegally hosting known trusted applications, such as Spybot and Ad-aware, without their consent. It's all just very unethical and will gain you nothing but a reputation for the same. |

I'm just backing up noahdfear here. I have personally witnessed the development of the smitrem tool and even participated in it's development somewhat indirectly. I do know for a fact that he is the author and you are not Tom Jones, pcbutts1 or whoever the heck you are.
I can guarantee you that this little charade of yours is going to get a lot of attention now and the appropriate actions will be taken. Your days are numbered! Quote:

As an Administrator for GeeksToGo.com, I can personally vouch for noahdfears' credibility. Not only is he a fellow Staff member, he is also a close personal friend. I have personally witnessed the creation of this tool, as well as all subsequent updates and revisions. I even sat on the phone talking to Dave not long ago as he worked on this last update.
It is pathetic and sad that you continue to try and claim this work as your own. After visiting your site, I recognized more than 20 programs/tools that you do NOT own, did NOT write, and I guarantee do NOT have authorization to be offering for download. Count me in as another person contacting the proper authorities tomorrow, both online ones, and ones in your hometown. Kat GeeksToGo.com Admin Team Quote:

You think you can get away with claiming this to be your work when it's clearly not? What's wrong, are you jealous of noahdfear's hard work so you have to STEAL it? Just give it up, we out number you big time. As said above the proper authorities will be contacted. |
