Rogue IT troubleshooter pleads guilty to scamming Cisco

LOL

AVG chokes fake traffic spew

LOL you guys missing the boat?

hmmm just read through about half the comments... then got bored... ok first off... since when is malaware hidden in the "html" of a page? isnt it hidden in a flash file or a image or some other file that the html downloads to your pc etc?

so basicaly scanning links etc will only help with pre defined rules of "this site is bad dont load". if it wants to actualy scan to find malaware on the page before it gets to your pc its gonna have to scan all images / mp3's / avi's etc in the page... which increases trafic drasticaly. sounds like marketing hype to me. i use avast pro.. it has a wep page type scanning thing... it scans the content as its being downloaded.. so basicaly what you will see gets scanned not a whole lot else.

on a side note... any pc ive ever worked on that has AVG i uninstall and load any other AV (tried it with a few other antivirus's) and they all detect trouble with the pc (malaware) even tho avg did nothing - granted all pc's i have to look have some problem with them... just makes it easier identifining a problem when avg is on the pc... uninstall it get a performance boost. install other AV remove malaware,.. pc fixed :P

it still amaizes me how AVG managed to get into the market... as im pretty sure that most people that use it are not IT proffesionals.

i asked a few people they all say the "pull" avg has is cause its "free".... come on people there are OTHER free antivirus' FFS. use something that actualy "works"

paris cause she doesnt work either... and shes probably also all full of bloat and malaware

MySpace fraudster indicted in teen's suicide

@ I. Aproveofitspendingonspecificprojects (lol at the name)

"Personally I'd like to see a case number stamped on her forehead and have her released immediately. If they use an hot enough branding iron and let the wound fester for a bit, there shouldn't be too much of a problem with her trying to erase it."

dont you think that should she be branded she would spend more time "indoors" aka online.... tormenting more "inocent" victims..

what i fail to grasp tho.... is you live in the same country. you have the likes of skype, msn etc with voice chat and webcams... its a tad wierd that they never "spoke" or cam'ed (not necisarily clothing off type) and she got so hooked that she would commit suicide. personaly i think they looking for an escape goat. the dead girls suroundings should be investigated more if they want to find the true guilty party

paris cause....... im sure alot of people havent spoken to her or cam'ed with her but are never the less infatuated by her. anyone know how many people shes driven to suicide by anychance?

Facebook agrees to child-safety measures

paris cause... the word blonde comes to mind.

Next Ubuntu LTS in 2010, unless Linuxes synchronize

conspiracy :P

hmmmm looks like hes trying to get the "competition" to release at the same time that the end user will rather wait for is version....

i use the word competition in a general sence. i release open source software so know that warm fuzzy feeling inside when people use yours rather than somone elses :P

also think about it all the major software companies will hang back with their own releases for the distros... that would leangthen the road forward some more. surely to the compunity faster and more regular is better?

alien cause i want an alienware laptop
