| 403025 | 2005-11-10 03:36:00 | He's not wrong - there was an article quoting MS saying exactly that a while ago. They think its ok if its "harmless". | pctek (84) | ||
| 403026 | 2005-11-10 03:49:00 | Interesting bit about rootkits here. (en.wikipedia.org) and here. (http://www.crookedtimber.org/) The second one, second item down, is about Sony claiming that most people don't know what a rootkit is "so why should they care about it." Interesting. Quote from above: comments “Most people, I think, don’t even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?” This could become a real classic. I suggest a competition: “Most people, I think, don’t even know what a _______ is, so why should they care about it?” Fill in the blank. |
