* Thoughts?

APK

P.S.=> Mixed-bag, imo... apk

"The queries also turned up pieces of spyware on popular online gaming sites and variants of the virulent Bagel and Mytob worms."

Hah! Like those weren't put there on purpose

. And i guess its a good thing that they can find these files. Maybe one day some company will run a virus scan of the internet

I actually don't mind google...it's www.whitepages.com you have to watch out for. If someone has your last name, they have access to your address, your school, your criminal records, your telephone number...it's very scary.

That's THE very argument against the site "rootkit.com"...

* The MOST dangerous thing out there today, imo, are those!

APK

P.S.=> IMO, impossible to defense against & if you snag one? Repave as the saying goes... been around since UNIX days in the mid-90's, afaik, theorists started them out & like Atomic Power? Largely misused for destruction... what a waste!

They're here for Win32 now... I was hoping it would NOT "go down" but sure enough...

Still, something to be learned about & countered for.. makes life interesting! apk
