Title: 171 spyware worms!
Post by: snart on June 06, 2007, 11:08:39 AM
Damn, I just ran Ad-Aware (I haven’t in a month or so) and there were “171 Critical Objects” AKA spyware programs on my computer!  These little %$#!ers report back to the infecting site every place you visit on the web and they sell this information to the highest bidder!  And that damn Rivals site is responsible for most of them!  Every time you visit a Rivals site they infect your computer with another of these &^%$ things.  It’s too bad that Rivals has the best recruiting database amongst the web sites else I would go to Scout (who doesn’t leave spyware crap on your computer!).  If you don’t have a copy of Ad-Aware I suggest you get one and run it!  And it’s free (my favorite price!).

Using firefox or a good popup blocker with IE should stop rivals from distributing that.

Macs suck hard. I've been using one for the past 8 months at work very intensively. I think they were just made for surfing the net and IM. They're extremely incapable at a lot of things.
