From: ~BD~ on 1 Aug 2010 09:54 Dustin Cook said recently ...... "Then, why the need to post that url and place other systems in potential harms way? The site you quote offers all kinds of malware" http://groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.politics.scorched-earth/msg/2d1b16cf98f51ec3?hl=en I'd very much like to know why Dustin Cook feels that hxxp://www.uniblue.com/ "offers all kinds of malware" Does anyone else here feel the same way? Has anyone used any of the 'tools' offered by Uniblue or the forerunner, hxxp://www.liutilities.com/ ? If so, any comments as to them being good or bad? TIA Dave

Please, install them. Report back your results. :) For anyone who does care about their machines, do NOT follow this advice; it was purely intended for BD. > Does anyone else here feel the same way? I think most? others know how to google a website to read up on it. Saddening that you still don't, after all this time. -- "I like your Christ. I don't like your Christians.
