Blatman Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 "They" don't. Once the virus is written and released, it requires no more input from the person who wrote it. They self replicate and self send to whoever is daft enough to open them, and their friends in their address books... Quote

I've heard tell that it's normally the NE area that suffer the most uncontrollable virusses. Quote
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I've heard tell that it's normally the NE area that suffer the most uncontrollable virusses. I heard Derby & Notts can be pretty "uncontrollable" when it get's to chritsmas party time Quote
Crazy Eddie Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 QUOTE whats the crack with these porn posts then? Was that meant to be a joke - made me smile All these virus things make me wonder who has this much time on their hands just to pi$$ off strangers - Geeks! (Probably still virgins too! ) Quote
Blatman Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Time on their hands? A half decent script writer could knock one out in his tea break. It's a bit like these emails that seem to come from your bank or Paypal or Ebay etc. I was under the impression that some clever stuff was going on. Having been shown what the score is, I was staggered that it's ridiculously easy to do Quote
barney Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I heard Derby & Notts can be pretty "uncontrollable" when it get's to chritsmas party time OI !! we resemble that remark.... Quote

Emma Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Global fame? If the virus was big enough, they end up getting a mention on the news!!! Personally I would be a bit embarrased to sit saying "I did that" but I guess there are some people out there..... Quote

Thats usually the main one. Dan Quote
Blatman Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Wot Danno said. They're after yer money, passwords etc. Remember *everything* you do on yer PC can be watched/intercepted/stolen, even the stuff you think you've deleted. Quote
stephenh Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Yes and dont forget that if you have been looking at porn it will be there on your hard disc forever and a day, a record of what sites you've visited Quote
JeffC Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 so... is it illegal to view franky vorn then Quote
ludo Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 just ask yourself who makes money with the viruses. you have too kind, the one that bogus your computer and the one that steal private informations and it's too different organisations that makes profits from it. Quote
