Re: Do I have TOO MANY antivirus, antispyware, etc

From: <jo_jo_jail@xxxxxxxxx>

| I was following this post with a bit of interest... that is until the
| computer savvy started giving advice!!!
|
| I'm fairly computer savvy when it comes to certain things. I'm ok with
| fixing driver issues, updating drivers, maintaining my computer
| (defragging every once and a while), running adaware, etc.
|
| But this is absolutely freaking ridiculous!! I have to use the
| internet occasionally at work for research. We have firewalls and
| virus scan by macafe and we all STILL get spyware.
|
| Initial kneejerk reaction every time my computer locks up or is
| disconnected from the server due to spyware:
| 1) People writing this garbage should be shot in the head.
| 2) Their bodies should be burned at stake.
| 3) The remaining pieces should be displayed on television for all to
| see.
|
| Spyware ALONE is the sole reason my computer freezes almost daily.
| Once I run adaware, my computer does not lock up, Outlook functions
| normally (instead of freezing), and everything is peachy once again.
|
| This is vandalism, theft, and sometimes wanton desctruction of someone
| else's property. Not only that, there's very little way for normal
| guys like me to track these idiots down, because I would call and
| harrass the hell out of them.
|
| This is such a no brainer that congress needs to pass some laws with
| some harsh penalties. Class action suits do NOTHING.
|
| I thought about starting a web site to sell my computer's processing
| power for $5/ms + an additional $0.30/byte of information they track,
| then sending invoices to the companies that install the tracking
| spyware on my computer. When they don't pay, I sue. Would probably be
| a complete waste of time.
|
| Congress is asleep at the freaking wheel on this one, and it's just
| wrong.

If you practice Safe Hex and take the right precuations, you won't get infected at all !
