Or, as [the] BSA/SPA/ad-nauseum would say, another “lost sale”.

Things like this are the very reason I am writing this on a linux box. It isn’t that I know linux well (yet), as I just began to use linux last week. I for one am tired of the spyware, the virii, the trojans, and the hackers looking to get in your box everytime you get on the net.

The cost of prevention is an added cost to computing and surfing the net. It is not a cheap prevention either, with every corporation wanting their pound of flesh, not once for the product but also with renewals. You never quit paying as long as you run windoze or you wind up wishing you had. I have for the last time cleaned my home network of worms and trojans.

What was nice was to receive a 404 error message of a hidden tool bar trying to install and could not find anywhere to install. I now have a router, a linux firewall, and a linux box with others to follow as I figure it out.

Let Billy and the Boyz suck it up on another lost customer.

It’s more like a 100% chance of infection within about 5 minutes unprotected online activity these days. Especially in areas with decent broadband access and thick pc users who dont see the point in anti-virus software. Like where I live :’(
