AV spying. Surprised?
David,
How much further CAN one go, Rudy? Obviously, you're not paranoid (enough). :-p On the other hand, you're just here to troll and provoke responses any way you can. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser |

AV spying. Surprised?
Shadow,
A simple compare before/after will detect any dropped files. Are you sure ? What makes you think it will drop /seperate/ files and not just rewrite (add its code to) an existing one ? Than where will that leave you ? (bonus points if that modification is done to protected system files) But I see you got my point: You /cannot/ protect your 'puter by pulling your cat5 cable when running random crap. And a problem with your "A simple compare". Does the term "root kit" mean anything to you ? Or even just the malicious AV program rewriting programs like that to ignore certain files ? Its not like that never happened before ... And if you think you could solve that by running such a compare (and/or more) by using a CD with its own OS on it ? You would just have recreated the initial problem. :-) But few trust an AV that's been on the market for a "full 10 days". You're fully right ofcourse. I mean, who has ever heard of an update which turned a good piece of software into absolute trash. That simply doesn't happen, right ? But hey, you just need to figure out which version of that AV product is on the up-and-up (good luck with that) and not update it ever. Too bad that that will probably also stop you from downloading the newest signature files .... :-p Regards, Rudy Wieser |

Do you understand that they do not NEED AV software? Yet there is a marvellous product which, without you needing to supply even an email address, will provide a 'package' which you then, without a second thought, install and provide it with root access to your computer. Thereafter it keeps you safe from all the nasties on the Interwebs. Would YOU use it? Is a FREE trial! What could you possibly have to lose? Once it is installed, how would YOU remove it - and be SURE it was gone? -- David |

David,
Do you have ANY experience with Apple computers? Do you understand that they do not NEED AV software? What kind of herbs would you put into a Sigue Sigue Sputnik soup ? Alkanet or rather Sinapis alba ? Regards, Rudy Wieser |
