I thought I was safe from it.. then I opened up firefox just now and was greeted by winfixer.

Fvck.

No ones safe now!
 
1) Stay off dirty sites and
2) Add offending servers hosting this stuff to your adblock file.

Ok, I've got a question.

Is it possible for one of us to write a script/program kind of like the RC5/Distributed client computing where we would donate our bandwidth to someone that would target spam e-mailers' IP addresses? I'm sure if we got a lot of people who could 'donate' their bandwidth at night to DDOS some dorks around the world who do nothing anyways but fill our inboxes with junk mail, we at ATOT could make a difference.

Is this possible?

Then why the hell isn't spam illegal and why can't we use unjustified methods against someone elses' unjustified methods of advertisements AKA crap?

If spam was outlawed tomorrow do you think it would stop?

A law is only effective if it can be enforced.

Speed limits are a good example of this.

 
Meh, it was worth a try. 😛 I think we need more "e-hunters", like the people that invaded the apartment of some spammer in Russia and killed him. Not to be mean and heartless, but damn, I really liked reading that.

Does the saying "2 wrongs don't make a right" mean anything to you? :disgust:
 
Winfixer is one troublesome piece of adware to get rid of. You need to download all sorts of special programs to get rid of it. Alteast I did when I got it. Not sure if the virus protection companies have been able to solve this one.

The solution is to use multiplication: two negatives then come out positive. 😉

Nope. The saying implies that there is never a justification for war, which is a fallacy.

It's also a flawed idea. RC5 can detect when the CPU is idle and then run it's work unit. Detecting when the network idle is nearly impossible when more than one computer is sharing the network.
