| 1157475 | 2010-12-01 21:47:00 | Surely it'd be worth it for an AV company to say to him "Righto, we'll pay you XYZ amount for the fix" and then include it in their AV software, or to market it as a special removal tool of their own (Paid?), because they're then suddenly the *only* company who can fully 100% treat it, which means that people are more likely to use / buy their product? It's a tough one, but do you essentially cave to this guys request and give him a buttload of money to get the "key" to restoring all the files? |

| 1157477 | 2010-12-02 00:45:00 | Thats still is no excuse to blame torrents. Torrent's, if you are careful can be very safe. From what I have seen they deserve all the blame they get.:groan: |

| 1157479 | 2010-12-03 07:09:00 | You can't have seen very much of them then... I have seen the results on enough PC's that the kids have been using various torrent programs. |

| 1157480 | 2010-12-03 09:55:00 | Fair enough, the kids probably wouldn't know the difference between "Movie.avi" and "Movie.avi.exe" Especially when file extensions are hidden by default in Windows! |

| 1157483 | 2010-12-03 23:34:00 | Especially when file extensions are hidden by default in Windows! I have never understood why MS decided to do that as it adds no benefit and for security I thought they would have knocked it on the head by now but I see Win7 still does it. It is one thing I immediately change when on a Win PC for the first time. |

| 1157484 | 2010-12-03 23:41:00 | Probably because some people when renaming files end up losing the extension and then don't know what's happened. But then, how else are they going to learn? |
