And the new thing he sent is just something else to prove the uselessness of our defenses he says. I haven't tried it, I suspect NOD etc won't object, scanning the .exe didn't fire off any alarms - but I wonder about HJT. However I'm not too keen to run it as he says its mostly harmless. Harmless in that its not a wild virus, its something he wrote as a test, but he did say there may be a possibilty that Windows could panic (and what does THAT mean??:wub - could be quite fun come to think of it...) and upset things and I should have my Ghost image handy. Well I do have an image but it is slightly old now, a few changes since and I can't be stuffed, cause in a few weeks I'll be doing Win7 anyway. WOuld be an annoyance so I might leave it for now. You know - on occasion after thorough cleaning I've had a customers PC still be a bit unstable or dodgy and thought a frsh install best - I wonder how often that has been because all our checkers have missed something? you keen to upload your nasty for us to check? |

| 819824 | 2009-10-13 08:57:00 | I'd be interested to see it ;) It's also worth noting that it was only a short while ago when you could very easily start writing direct to the HDD from windows with "user" privileges etc. and a whole lot of other things are possible :D |
