AVG scanner blasts internet with fake traffic

All Your LinkScanners Are Belong To Us

OK retards I can't be bothered with you any more but my mom insisted that before I go I answer a point from one of the AVG fanboys (who is presumably one of her regular customers).

"The task for us is to assist AVG to fix this challenge!"

Many have tried and been met with arrogance and unbelievable ignorance.

AVG went ahead and handed a database of their customers to the enemy.

NOBODY can help them now.

LinkScanner Is A Security Risk

OK listen up retards, I'm not going to tell you again and if you don't respect my authoritah it's your own stupid fault.

My site has been fooling AVG LinkScanner for a month by serving it a dummy file, and getting the nice green star every time. I could serve a drive-by download to anyone who uses this piece of crap (and that means you).

My site logs are full of the IP addresses of identifiable AVG users and I can turn them into a target database in seconds. I could sell that database to a scammer if I could find one who didn't have their own already.

You morons are lucky I am such a nice guy.

LinkScanner is not just useless, it's a security risk.

LinkScanner F'd You In The A

"According to Thompson, nearly all web exploit toolkits track IP addresses"

Listen up retards, you need to know this.

If you have a static IP and have used AVG LinkScanner at any time since it was launched you have been identified as an AVG user in the logs of every site that showed up in your search results.

This data is easy to extract and every scammer in existence should already have your IP address on their target list - thanks entirely to Roger "The Eggbreaker" Thompson of AVG.

The code that sites can use to fool LinkScanner and hit you with a drive-by download has been openly available on the web for a month and is so simple that even Clyde Frog can use it.

AVG will be forced to change the user-agent very soon but if your IP address has already been logged you are a target and you should change to another anti-virus package immediately (unless you are a total choad and don't respect authoritah).

LinkScanner F'd you in the A.
