Because I want people to wake up to parties such as yourself that
recommend things like not using AV, firewalls, installing NT files into
Win9X/ME, and using vulnerable Web applications: CLAIMING you know these
are un-needed; CLAIMING you haven't found any vulnerabilities; with
recommendations to download pirated software; that torrents are safe and
like activities; and all the other techniques that are used by parties
engaged in ensuring Windows users ARE vulnerable, to the point of
constantly placing the exploits on-line so EVERYONE has the exploit to
cover-up the original creators and users' tracks, to increase the
difficulty by those who prosecute these activities. That's people like
you 98 Guy... people engaged in criminal enterprises and/or activities;
WE need your type properly identified EVERYWHERE.
