A new hijacking
is this a help/discussion forum or a bitch session.i'm just blown away with
some of the bitchy crap....get on with it and assist someone -- jo68 " wrote: This one doesn't seem to be affecting things too much EXCEPT that I now have a wallpaper that won't go away. It's a blood- red screen with a black area in the middle with "DANGER: SPYWARE" flashing in huge red letters. Then it goes on to tell me how I can pay them extortion money (my words not theirs) "for as low as $49.95" to get rid of the ****. My homepage had also been replaced by a warning from them, that I was being watched, along with listing my DNS etc. etc. (I think I've gotten rid of that problem, but the wallpaper I haven't been able to.) All this crap started yesterday after very briefly visiting an adult site. I wish they all had one neck and my hands were around it. It'll stop when these scum start being sent to prison for doing this. I've run HijackThis and Spybot, and have of course tried to change my wallpaper, but of course they've covered that and I can't override what they've done. Not yet anyway. Anybody know about this one and what to do to solve it? Thanks a bunch. -- Flores |

Spreading the fact that mostly only deserving fools get their computers infected with spyware. It's not a fact. Besides undeserving fools, there's a constant battle where people write new spyware which bypasses earlier defenses. Sometimes they're ahead of diligent defenders. |

Besides undeserving fools, there's a constant battle where people write new spyware which bypasses earlier defenses. I got no problems. And I'm certainly not the most intelligent person on the planet. Sometimes they're ahead of diligent defenders. LOL! All they need to do is learn a little common sense, but won't as long as they can't find someone to continue to coddle them and enable them sitting back on their fat lazy foolish asses. -- Peace!

No. They are for communicating. And I am helping by communicating that much of the spyware problem is caused by fools infecting their own computers.

And you enablers are just part of the problem, instead of part of the solution. There's a big difference between "coddling" and "teaching." Giving answers is coddling, and only teaches people to be dependant on begging for answers, instead of motivating them to seek out answers for themselves, and thinking for themselves. You sound like someone from the "sink or swim" school. Give someone a fish, and they'll be back tomorrow to get another fish from you. Motivate someone to fish for themselves, then they'll won't be bothering you again for fish. Remember, the OP is a self-professed "high-level pro." He really has no good excuse for his disfunctional behavior of begging for help. Hell, my own AARP mother, that has owned a computer for at least 8 years would have no good excuse for being such a fool as this "high-level pro" of an OP. -- Peace!

There are very few noobs left in the English-speaking world, so anyone that is still getting their computer infected with spyware can't fall back on "I'm just a noob" defense, especially the self-proffessed "high-level pro" of an OP. And being as computer knowledgeable as me is hardly all that necessary. All it takes is some common sense. -- Peace!

How are you helping them? (By persuading us that software shouldn't be safer - because the victims deserve what they get?) |
