I do appreciate that Dave thought my topic earlier this week was worth discussing. Thanks Dave" You're welcome, Bill. I can confirm here that I do not know Bill personally (nor, in fact, on line) although I *have* used Win Patrol in the distant past. Perhaps I will again now! I first became aware of such matters when I read this item in The Register:- http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/09/dns_rebinding_attack/ There are a great many 'help' sites on the net - many purporting to 'clean' a users PC - yet cybercrime continues to flourish. Most people I know would expect that a format and reinstallation of an operating system would *really* give then a fresh start. It seems to me, though, that if one's router has a mind of its own, so to speak, a computer could be back as part of a Botnet in the blink of an eye! Dave Quote

Hmmmm (stroking chin!) > > Dave > > FYI Peter - posted in microsoft.public.security.homeusers Perhaps someone here will comment on a point of confusion (for me!) In the 'virus' group mentioned, where I recently posted a message identical to my OP here, a Mr Peter Foldes (PF) posted a link to http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm whiich explains the difference between Multiposting and Crossposting (written by David Stevenson). I have seen it before. Maybe it is genuine, maybe not. I did not click on the link, but copied and pasted same into my browser(s) as mentioned in my response to Mr Foldes yesterday. It failed to take me to the intended page, again as mentioned in my reply to him. Today Peter Foldes has posted another link - which appears identical to the original - and this time it 'works'. Wondering if Gremlins are at work here, I checked both the origal link PF posted and the one in my reply to him. Wow! Today *all* the links work! Is it magic ............ or has someone tampered with the links? I wonder how it was done. Any thoughts anyone? TIA Dave Quote

Ya I read it, you admitted some fault while still blaming BD for the way he posted and admittingly stating that you did not click the link. the most non-applogy I've seen in some time. Go ahead and reply, in the past you seem to have a need to have the last word, go ahead I'll give it to you. " Unlike you, I can live with being wrong and have been in the past. The post appeared to be spam and was improperly formatted in a reply, like your post is not properly quoting the text you quoted. So, yes, it appears that BD is a good member, that the blog is reputable, but, I had not seen either before and took it for face value. Maybe you can get your Usenet interface fixed while you ponder the simple misunderstanding because of a lack of explanation."

Trojans are installed on the unsuspecting computer users that goad them to purchase so-called anti malware software that does not do what they puport they will do. Their goal is just to extract money from you. Then there are trusted anti malware utilities that perform what they say they will do. Remove malware. These are trusted and vetted. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp Quote

Their goal is just to extract money from you. Well, as you say, rogue anti malware = malware and therefore irrelevant in context. You are complicating things for no obvious reason. >Then there are trusted anti malware utilities that perform what they say they will do. >Remove malware. These are trusted and vetted. You can't trust any "anti whatever ware" running in the same environment as a "whatever ware" allowed to run with equal credentials. That's just a false assumption. "Anti whatever ware" are mainly "because I don't know better" solutions for average consumers and CYA security solutions for businesses. Quote

Super Gravity is free and has been around for 10+ years, works on all Win platforms and even lets you decode files if you're into that kind of thing. It's about as clean and easy as it gets, it's a real Usenet client, not a broken Web/Email client. > >> Just as a reminder, you *have* 'met' me here before.
