Well I must say... the ignorance and stupidity of the <$ mob sometimes beggars belief.. It's ok to set limewire to share your C: and to start on boot!! hahaha.. f-in HA!! Have they never heard of pasv reverse FTP?? where the ack overwrites the original file? Firewalls.. antivirus.. anti spyware.. online shields taking up 600MB of ram and 60% of 3.8 ghx cpu's before they touch a keyboard/... and yet they insist "it's the only way"... f-in morons... spoonfed f-in loosers. With their spyware infested OS.. their drm spyware infested applications and their sheeple "install program.. get pirate key or patch" mentality... and still they don't see that they are deliberately installing spyware and 80% of the time. stuff 'em.. they deserve all they get.. I have just shoved some real nasties in my limewire/frostwire shares.. some old MBR malware which will run a hidden ftp app on an xdcc server in the far east. It's called trj_gen_dl+.exe ... wait and see the HJT logs come in when these nubs go getting the "new" cs3 keygen.. hahaha.
Ouch. Still.. Only dumbasses use limewire/frostwire to get programs. I don't think they realize half the programs advertised on there are just trojans/worms/spyware. Ugh.
I am sick of my kids asking me to put Limewire on their Lappys. The big girl does what she wants (she will hit me otherwise LOL), but i have control over the wee un, no f**kin crap like that. Only for the fact she actually likes winblows does it remain on her lappy (but i have a dual boot with it hehehehe). I am so happy from i moved to *nix full time many months ago i cannot describe. No worries over finding a suitable firewall proggie, no AV, no hacks cracks patches dodgy .exe's. I have to use windoze in work (bloody win2K ffs), so sloooooooooooow and crappy it is untrue (i suffer it because it pays the bills). I never thought i would be a OS convert when i first tried *nix a few years back. Got a RedHat install from a mate and the 150000 page manual for it. My head exploded. Cus varnull and a wee bit of support and i was a happy teddy bear. Debian FTW!!
