Might be due to the fact he posts them before reading them. So to him, everything is a potential doomsday scenario. :) -- The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. Hey!

Rationalization - if it is possible for malware to reside this deep, that must have been what *I* was afflicted with, and it's a good thing I fed the computer into the woodchipper. Or maybe he just likes trolling, on or off the water.

Others will appreciate that there was no way in the world that I'd have simply 'stumbled across' Annexcafe - especially as I live in the UK. When I first went there I was already suspicious of the motive behind the email. If only someone had been brave enough to go there and ask *why* Grybeard had remarked "Do you think he knows?" following my 'banning' from the group, many hours of newsgroup posting might have been avoided! A guy there called 'Tinkerer' might also have been good to question about it too! ;-) > Maybe he seeks justification for having destroyed a computer after > having been told by an authority that it would be necessary in order > to be rid of the "malware" responsible for incurring a resulting > financial loss. It is heartening to know that you have actually read and *remembered* what I have said in the past, FTR! > Rationalization - if it is possible for malware to reside this deep, > that must have been what *I* was afflicted with, and it's a good thing > I fed the computer into the woodchipper. Folk here in the alt.comp.virus group are entitled to hold whatever views they feel appropriate. Most seem to ridicule the idea that malware can only reside on a hard disk and assure me that it can survive nowhere else within a computer. As I've mentioned already, a real-life pal from IBM has assured me that is *not* the case - as did the police of our then High-Tech Crime Unit after I had suffered a monetary loss of �245 via identity theft back in 2005. Using Trend Micro 'Housecall' I identified 'Trojan.Java.ByteVer.R' as the possible culprit. Here's an old item to confirm this: http://www.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/microsoft.public.security.virus/2007-08/msg00263.html My subsequent research of Malware has convinced me that once a machine has actually been compromised, one can never be 100% certain that it is 'clean' - no matter *what* cleaning tools are used! Does it matter? Not really - but I don't do Internet banking! ;-) HTH -- Dave - again with apologies to RonNNN :) |
