Hi, I am mad and just have a few questions that if somebody could answer will be great...

Why does people create malware? spyware? I mean WHY?????

Life would be easier if you could surf with no risk...

Well, I feel better now

Try using a virtual machine with Linux for your surfing.

They are just jealous *nix users because MS-Windows is soooooo much easier to learn and use.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Maybe malware, spyware and so on are created by folks with Linux machines to discourage the use of the Windows OS.

Now my silly question:
"Why doesn't the sun shine at night, when we could use the extra light?"

I read on the internet that many of these programs are created in China by folks most likely under contract from companies that write Antimalware and Antispyware software.

I've got the "antivirus vista 2009" (worm or virus, I don't know), it did his thing and immediately offer to clean my computer for 90 dollars, that's why I got mad, they mess your computer and then try to steal your money!!
People who does not know how to fix it will pay...

Both statements are false -- the sun does shine at night, just not where you are. And I've seen both the sun and the moon at the same time.

The "antivirus vista 2009" comes in from visiting porno sites. There are ways to get rid of this pest, just google. I am told that it is a very nasty program that keeps reinfecting unless you know all the tricks to get rid of it. Maybe it's a program put out by the righteous Christian Right to punish the axis of evil doers.
