We have lists of known nasties ;)

and then we know pretty well what should and shouldn't be running.. HJT even has some sites which will scan a log for you and point out nasties based on a users database of applications and files.

boing boing ;) http://www.hijackthis.de/

Of course only people who insist on using mickey mouse OS from a certain well known vendor of crap will ever need the services of all these other programs and services.. me? I just run bastille and tripwire and my important files have a checksum stashed elsewhere on my machine so I know if anybody has been tampering. Not that they have much chance.. only things I make executable can run.. nothing from outside has those rights.

Not trying to hijack the thread (no pun intended), but I just have to point out that varnull you are a freaking genius. Now just remember that in case I ever make you mad in the future so I can have one freebie! :-)

How boring!!!! No viruses, Trojans or malware to tinker with..

Life can?t be just a merry-go-round, one must occasionally hit the roller coaster


I just Love to install XP with No service packs, No firewall and No AntiVirus then, Hit The Porn Sites!!! Oh, what a thrill to see just how long it takes me to clean all that s..t out?..



What a High, better that cocaine???????

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves...

Just to reply.. who needs malware when there are wonderful programs like cinelerra which refuse to run no matter what you do ;)

I have a kettle and a David Duchovny poster just to remind me the truth is out there, though it may not seem like it sometimes XD

I collect malware if anybody wants some.. hehehehehe...
