Microsoft Locking Out Anti-Virus Makers?
twitter writes "Anti-virus makers have more to fear than stonewalling by Microsoft if a report by Agnitum, maker of Outpost Personal Firewall, is right about recent trusted computing changes. All the problems were summarized in a choice Register quote, 'In addressing the potential problem of not being able to install Outpost on new versions of Windows, we have discovered that it is possible to drill past the new security measures introduced by Microsoft - if we use the same techniques used by hackers.'"
No-one comes here for the news! Not only is it always a day or two late, we often recycle it just for fun, and then make 'slashbacks' on it one more time just to annoy the hell out of people like you.

Actually there's a story about this comment. A guy sold me a whole pack of comments, telling me they were cool and the latest fashion. But when I took them home they started making all kinds of noise, and annoying the neighbours. So I tried to flush one down the toilet but it just got stuck and the toilet overflowed, so I had a living room full of noisy, wet, and smelly comments, which really annoyed the neighbours. I tried burning the comments in a barbeque but they didn't really catch, but started smoking, so I found myself with a whole house full of smoking, smelly, wet, noisy comments. Luckily, some of my friends had mod points, so we caught the comments and modded them down to -1 insane, which made them a lot madder, but at least no-one could see them any more. I was left with a single comment, slightly used, but after I dried it in the microwave and it passed the lameness filters, I posted it here.
There are no old stories, only old comments.
