  1. Re:not just worms on Clean System to Zombie Bot in Four Minutes · · Score: 1

    Ditto here with Download.com. Just downloaded RegClean and after running it to clean up my Registry, I noticed a new search address bar on Explorer and IE. WTF?

    So, off to the net to get Ad-Aware and clean the crap. 15 mins. and I'm clean again. Nuke Download.com.

    On another note, I'm in my place in Zurich and I've been watching my ZoneAlarm via cable-modem and it's hanging on 5 hits a minute against port 445, with a few 139s in to just keep me interested. 99% are from cable-modem users, I guess, since they're all on the same DHCP-naming convention.

    Now, at my home I use DSL via SwissCom and I might get one hit a weekend. Zzzzzzzz...... But all systems have ZoneAlarm, locked tight, and up-to-date patches, which I check regularly. So, far so good, except.... when I do something stupid and download a bad app.

    Sigh. Oh, well. I'm happy to be here reading on how to keep everything clean.

  2. Re:Why not release it? on Gates 'World's Most-Spammed Man' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, believe me. He really belongs here. This is the norm.

  3. Notice the monitors behind Mrs. Claus? on Tom's Holiday Buying Guide · · Score: 1

    There are other pictures of her on the two left monitors. Now, what are the chances of finding *all* the other pictures of her at this time?

  4. Re:Wow! on Japan's Newest Linux Supercluster: 13TB RAM · · Score: 1

    Having been born in Japan, I believe a Beowulf cluster in Japan is more commonly called a "godzilla cluster". And having said that I'm wondering what that amount of money would cost in toto? Oh, BTW, this machine is really going to be used to create the next Gozilla movie, only animated. Sig? Ok. Sig.
