Computer Morons - Living Viruses?
03.30.04 (1:12 pm)   [edit]
[b]Why do morons think they wont get a virus when they download porn, don't scan there email or just in general accept files from other morons?
Okay reader(s) please note if your going to go porn or questionable sites (I really don't care if you do or don't) that at some point, some moron is going to want you to download there version of a viewer, toolbar, dialer or whatever. This is really bad. How bad...well, run into a wall really really fast. Did you do it? Hurts huh? That's how bad.
Here's a run down of what each program can & will do if you get infected.
Dialer - tells your modem (in a moron language, a magical device that speaks in tones to another magical being on the other side so it can tell them your magic box is ready to take you on that magical ride to porn land) to dial out to another company in another country at like $3.99 -- $9.99 a minute. You get stuck with the phone bill, they get a profit. Usually the government can't do a thing in this case & for the most part it's all legal & in another country. Nice you get screwed while looking at porn. Ironic huh?
Worms - Nice little piece of coding that replicates itself (in moron language, it magically makes more of it self & starts an army of destruction in your computer) once it gets in your system, it may attach itself to other files while deleting other files & it may start emailing other files out under your name, trying to infect other people.
Trojans - I particularly like this program. This program allows anyone hacker to get into your system & basically do what ever they want. Upload, download, delete, turn off your computer. You name it, the Trojan can do it. (Moron language -- the mean old wizard has a back door into your computer, because you left the keys in the magical castle.)
Spyware - This is software that runs in your background that allows corporations to spy on you. What these do is send out bits of information on you & what your surfing habits are. (moron language - they watch you when you go to www.beatingsheep.com).
Some install toolbars & hijack your home page, so they know you always going to go their site first. Nice huh.
Most of these viruses HAVE to be activated or opened by the user(s).
So far the clients I have dealt with & fixed there computers for them have had worms, Trojans, spyware & an outdated antivirus program(s).
Now I realize that Anti virus software (AVS) can be expensive & when your updates run out they hit you up for a new subscription rate. Sort of like a protection racket. Pay up or suffer. BUT what if I told you could get an AVS with updates for FREE? Yes, for FREE. Along with another program that eliminates spyware. The cost for the Spyware removal program. FREE.
Grisoft.com - AVG - anti virus program. I use it on my clients computers. It's free, the updates are free. If you find a better deal go for it.
Ad-aware - I don't have the link but do a search for it. Find it, download it. It will identify spyware & help eliminate it. It's all FREE.
Let's end the computer moron epidemic together or at least get them a shiny rock to look at.

ok a fwe pointers to an otherwise well written summary...

worms and trojans are not virii - though its easier to call them a virus for 'moron language'

and spyware and adware and other such are classed has malware - malious software.

there is a link to adware on a post i made about the powermusic pop up torjans... lavasoftusa or some other ... its an excellent program saves me many headaches... as for AVS DO NOT GET NORTON just today i had to scour an entire 500pc network because norton lets the virus/trojan/whatever in before it finds it, by this time the virus had disabled norton and i had alot of fun :/

people actually look at smut? don't get McAffee either it's crap. a good one is the activescan from pandasoftware. or better yet just don't get on the web.it is as bad as going into the hospital you can't walk ing without walking out sicker than you walked in. if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. maybe that's why my computer is smoking on startups and wheezing on shut downs. i happen to surf alot on thehun. pentium III @ 450 MHz

#1 You're a weee bit testy. :)

#2 Very good advice. I've used ad~aware for quite awhile now, and I'm always surprised but all the shit it finds on my system.

#3 I get a free subscription to "command" anti-virus through my job, but it always seems to be a little slow in getting updates for new plagues out there. You the grisoft would be a better route?

As a moron, myself, I really appreciate the info! :)
