This is honestly really sad. This just shows how many people are oblivious to computer security. It also shows how many people don't care at all about others and just want to make money, at whatever the cost. Jesus people, stop making malware. Nobody wants it now, nor ever wanted it.

=D well, considering it started as a marketing tool... as well as severl survailance methods through various companies and individuals.. we will always have some kind of program from somewhere, trying to get in or already on our computers from the second it connects.. some silly theory i guess. Until some one makes a fine piece of software that somehow gets all the crap off.. then we are stuck constntly wipeing and starting new.
wouldn't it be great if

This were a good trojan, that made a internet like link between computers through all means, blue tooth wifi modem cable, sat, and shared bandwidth and resources. constantly and free. so that if you had no service of anykinda. semalessly connect. through wi-fi or whatever.

Last year newspapers repoted that North Korea trained 500 "hackers". I Wonder how many this year...

Do a Google on "hackers" and start thinking if "your" PC is all you should be concerned about...

Viruses etc. are a pain in the *ss, yet even the Storm worm seems like a mere "formatting of one's hard drive" problem compared to the very real and present danger hackers pose...
