They could make all new computers give warnings on the packaging about the threat of a unprotected computer. Then the user would have to be responsible for any damages.
Yeah but I cant use GMail. I have 2.5 gig of email.:(
My current email limit is half a terrabyte or a full terrabyte if I delete some stuff. Excellent spam protection and I can read it where ever I want when ever I want.
Yep.Postfix, Courier and SpamAssassin (with a few tweaks) with IMAP rocks.
I hear that a awful lot. Unfortunately its disproven very simply.
On average, what kind of computers run Linux? Yes thats right. Multi-processor beasts on massive net connections.
If it was possible to make a Linux virus which would successfully spread in the wild then we would have *very* serious spam and botnet problems. There is far more money in spam than malware.

You obviously dont know what the middle mouse paste is then.
Its not a normal clipboard.
10 years ago they were saying that global warming proponents were right over the establishment.
You got the Windows wrong actually.
Its more like this:
Double click install.exe and then hit 'Next' 20 times.
Middle click paste is a godsend fyi. It gives the middle mouse button a purpose.
What if everyone gets a band together, records one song, breaks up and then demands a slice of this tax?
People dont choose to get infected however they do choose not to do anything about it.

You were excited to meet your girlfriend's father? Somethings wrong with you. ;)
I agree. This is a good way to implement it.
Everyone can use it and no one is left out.
This doesnt work against malware running on dialup computers then.
Just buy high capacity rechargeables. I got some 2000 mhA ones and they work great.
You guys are funny. You have social security numbers yet you complain about national id cards.

I'm a Aussie where identification for stuff like bank accounts is usually your passport and drivers licence.
Dont you mean the USA could steal the results from Canada?
Oh no! My tin foil hat ripped! They now know that I want to take over the world. My plans are ruined!

Autism is contagious? Oh shit!
Yeah thats with XP. This is NEW Windows Vista with 20% more EULA.
Never the less I'm positive that if it was possible then people would try it.
Ever watched your ssh logs? People try brute forcing it (without much luck).
It must be worth something to them.
lol. I know from experience that a lot of dedi owners are as clueless as Windows users.
My main client is a web master who has two quad Xeons.
The most he can do is copy files in ssh.
He left a airport and arrived at the same airport. He didnt fly anywhere.

And you failed on both counts. :P
Is that the best you came up with?
Windows has far more serious problems than little bugs which do very little.
# Number of infections: 50 - 999
# Number of sites: More than 10
# Geographical distribution: Medium
# Threat containment: Easy
# Removal: Easy
Its either a typo or you need glasses.
It says Norman not Norton.
I have it installed. I was intending to make it scan the Windows machines on the network.
Unfortunately my laziness got in the way. The Windows machines as a result are currently filled with crap.
