Got the Adware from hell, Rant
I would love to run into the ass wipe that wrote the adware I have on my
computer right now. I would inflict a slow and painful death on him, video taping the entire long drawn-out tortuous event then send it to Dateline, 60 minutes, 20/20 and all the rest. I would not even worry about being prosecuted for murder as I know if I could just get one person on my jury that has ever had a virus or had their computer taken over by adware the best the prosecution could ever hope for would be a hung jury.Among other things I would cut this persons testicles off and make him eat them. I am not a novice computer user, I do not open email attachments from unknown sources, do not click on links without having a good Idea where they go, I run up to date virus software, up to date Spyware detection and have still managed to get the adware from hell. I keep getting sent to an ad for antispyware soldier. This is extortion they put the problem there and want me to pay for its removal which would likely not even remove it but add yet even more problems. These Sons of Bitches that write this software need to be tortured to death on national TV. If that were done enough times maybe this crap would cease. Why would anyone smart enough to write this crap choose to do this as instead of just a legitimate job programming where they could make good money. Joe |

Joe Do you want advice on removing this infection, or is this just a rant? So: if it's the former. What antivirus/antispyware program(s) are you using? And what, if any steps have you taken to remove the infection? |

Got the Adware from hell, Rant
Mostly just a rant as I am rebuild the entire system in the morning anyway
thanks to AMDs price cuts. I am upgrading from a barton core XP2800 to an AM2 X2 3800. I am running Mcafee antivurs and Spyware Sweeper and this adware managed to get past both updated versions.

It wouldn't solve all your problems, but probably more than 99.99% of them. Of course, price is a limiting factor Some people like to pay more, then get bugged by MS everytime they upgrade their system. Finally, it's all about how simple you want life to be. |

Ah yes, simple like not having to decide from amongst a large number of programs. Or did you mean simple like having to compile your own drivers (if you can find the info available for whatever it is that needs the driver.). OP, just what was this "Adware from hell"? If you Google it (or the program that it runs from) you should find some returns that describe the problem you found and how to fix/remove it. Luck; Ken |

Heh....You have no idea how many times I've felt the same way. Even
those of us with nazi protection settings get hit once in awhile. Almost makes me want to get a job where I can put these people to justice. I have a feeling nothing gets done... |

Ah yes, simple like not having to decide from amongst a large number of programs. You mean like the 18,876 packages I have available at the click of a mouse in Synaptic? Or do you mean the 100,000 projects on SourceForge? No, sorry, there's no software available for Linux... Or did you mean simple like having to compile your own drivers (if you can find the info available for whatever it is that needs the driver.). I've been using Ubuntu Linux for about 18 months now. Never had to compile a driver, or anything like it. Have you even used Linux? If not, perhaps you ought to just keep your mouth shut...? CK |

Or did you mean simple like having to compile your own drivers Big problem: ../configure make make install and, in a minute, you have your driver. But I never had to do that... No question, you're much better staying in the good care of a monopoly, mainly that, as WindsorFox points out, gaming is not Linux's strong point. (Though somes games also have a version for Linux -- such as Quake, I believe -- and Wine might succeed in running some Windows games. I don't know.) There's so much to be learned from games, no wonder Windows advocates like them so much. All the gamers I know are real big brains. Anyway, this is not a Linux advocacy group. It was just a suggestion I made to get out of adware hell. |
