I thought Wintel machines don't get these problems anymore? Isn't
that what some of the Winfaitful in here keep saying?

From the article:
"Microsoft is claiming major success at cleaning the notorious Zeus
crimeware trojan from infected Windows machines.

One week after adding detections into its malicious software removal
tool, Microsoft said it nuked Zeus (also called Zbot) 281,491 times
from 274,873 computers."

Is this one difficult to fight (there are more infections than
systems)? I guess I'll stick with the 'success-less' Mac


LOL!


Why, Steve, are you now laughing at all of your own posts... and
spamming multiple news groups?


LOL!

Default N00b fails assignment (was: Microsoft has sure been busy)

You failed the assignment.

1) This isn't "someones page"; it's a USENET group.
http://google.com/search?q=define:USENET
(Actually, you posted through
Google's crappy Web-based inter face to USENET.)

2) ...and it isn't *one* USENET group;
you replied to a post that was cross-posted to FIVE unrelated groups.
i.e. the original post was a dim-witted troll.

Next time, look on the To: line before you click Post.
Even better: Clicking on Google's *More options* link
will show you the same thing earlier.

3) You top-posted.
That's extremely bad form in ANY type of communications.

4) You posted twice.
Refresh the page after a minute or so and see if your post went thru.
