The point I notice ....

...Is his comment that they are going to target all peer 2 peer with this crap .

I know virii were out there before, but this seems a tad more insidious .

The disabling and bypassing of all know anti-virus software is their goal as well .

Virii often were for just the point of overloading a network or taking a PC down .

These don't want your PC down they want total remote control of it and want to
keylog your credit cards, and your passwords and want to financially rape you .

I have had several clients of late that have had remote access type spyware,
and had keyloggers paired in with it, and their anti-virus and spybot unable to update .

It is getting pretty bad compared to just a cpl of years ago .

I think the paper is relevant if self appreciative of the submitter .
