Spyware is unbelievable!

Post by Tempus »

its incredible i have now had to up the amount of anti-spyware programs on my computer to 4 just to get rid of all this sh!t ... (Adaware, Spysweeper, spyhunter and Spybot) i just ran 3 of 4 ( i run them one after another) and spysweeper found 11 that hunter and bot didnt find... gah!

its an epidemic... and the thing is i know what to watch for and to not download crap like that... i think they are starting to spread through the network now

anyone else having a problem keeping their computers clean?
i do a scan every other day or so and often i havent even done anything (including restart my comp) and there are always new crap on here its freaking rediculous!
Gentlemen, we got 20 calls about the David Hyde-Pierce incident. And as you know, one call equals a billion people, which means 20 billion people were offended by this

Apparently, spyware companies are now trying to hit anti-spyware companies:

If your spam can't beat the detectors, just bankrupt the competition. :?

doesnt surprise me in the least. Even if some companies go under, there will be other programers that take their place. It will always be like that beacuse there are too many people all over the world who hate spyware

and we love them for it :lol:

No, they arent breasts, they're personalities, because its ok to like a girl for her personalities
