This can't be considered news anymore, it's just a fact and part of the online life (spyware, trojans, virii etc in general).

Er...we already know about that. That's why I'm more careful about any freeware/shareware that I download from the net.

QUOTE(shigajet @ Jun 25 2005, 10:34 AM) Er...we already know about that. That's why I'm more careful about any freeware/shareware that I download from the net. I know I've already posted about Nonags heavily already but I'd like to emphasize again just how good they are at checking all the freeware and shareware that comes in not only for viruses and trojans, but also for those nag screens or stuff about free trials. They refuse to even put demo stuff on their site, only stuff that is a full program and 100% free with no popup screens for it. I've gotten a lot of great stuff off it before and never had any problems. Awesome site. http://nonags.com

trojans and how they differ from viruses and worms (0) As a programmer, I had the opportunity to code a trojan horse before, of course it was just for

QUOTE Trojans typically consist of two parts, a client part and a server part. When a victim

Trojan to connect to the server module and start using the Trojan. The protocol usually used for
communications is TCP, but some Trojans' functions use other protocols, such as UDP, as we....

Viruses That Hurt Hardware

Then it suddenly drops down, so your fan slows down in a sudden stop. This not only hurts your fan,
your CPU, but it also hurts your Harddrive, since your hardware's heat is inconsistent and

like that, but raising your bill? Ridiculous, if this is because the company made it more
expensive, I am surely going to switch to roadrunner high-speed. :/ But somehow, I doubt it spiked
