Her PC had both Windows Firewall and Norton Anti-Virus running, though the latter’s virus definitions were last updated in January. Neither one stopped this crack, which is reportedly installed by exploiting an Internet Explorer vulnerability.

In other news, Microsoft will be releasing 12 security updates on Tuesday.

yes the link to the store was pretty shameful. Admitted, acknowledged, and I am disappointed in myself. Sometimes i wish I was I was fighting this great revolution but when you look at it, I guess it is pretty silly. it’s all just silicon, and wafers. Mine as well get into politics or something……………
Jesus, did I say that,
or just think it ?
Was I talking ?
Did they hear me ?
