20 years of innovative Windows malware

<http://infoworld.com/d/security/20-years-innovative-windows-malware-021> <quote> Ingenuity to nefarious ends: The evolution of groundbreaking Windows malware sheds light on what's to come Windows PCs have been under siege for 20 years. What a difference those two decades make. Back when Windows was young, viruses scampered from system to system, occasionally deleting files -- which could almost always be retrieved -- and putting up dialog boxes with inscrutable contents, like the numeral 1. Nowadays, Windows malware locks up your data and holds it for ransom. It manipulates your PC into launching attacks, mines files for credit card numbers and passwords, and sets nuclear centrifuges to whirl with wild abandon -- nasty stuff. </quote> The cost to the world economy from Windows exploits far exceeds any benefit from running the SW. It is about time Windows was banned from the Internet and Microsoft forced to compensate for the havoc their badly designed SW has caused.

First we have to collect directly from you open source 'tards for allowing sendmail/postfix/qmail/etc to spread viruses and malware willy-nilly with reckless disregard for the havoc they cause. Let's say malware costs about $15 billion per year http://www.computereconomics.com/article.cfm?id=1225 open source delivers approx. 75% of the malware sendmail/postfix/qmail/exim/ http://www.mailradar.com/mailstat/ There are approx 10 million members of the Linux/OSS "community" which get to share the cost (vs 900 million Windows users) So your annual share of the cost of malware is around $1125 ($15 billion x 75% / 10 million) My annual share is around $4 ($15 billion x 25% / 900 million) It's long past time for you freeloaders to pay up for spreading malware.

Linosuck says he uses Linux 90% of the time, so he owes: (90% x 1125) + (25% x $4) = $1014 But he also has to pay an annual 'Creepy Putz Penalty' of $5000 to the General Fund.

As your recent ubuntu / lost+found articles have shown you are an ignoramous. Be so kind as to explain where in any RFC relating to MTA's is scanning the content specified? Because of Microsoft a fortune is spent in vainly trying to protect Windows systems becoming infected with mail spamming trojans. You say you don't lie but your reply clearly is one. If you believe repeating the same lies over and over gives them any credence then I hate to burst your bubble but it only confirms that you are an idiot. It wouldn't surprise me if you are also a religious fundamentalist. That is how stupid you appear to be.

Your entire posting history shows you to be a moron, "Hardon". Once you leave your <quote></quote> safety net (about 90% of what you post), you're revealed as a typical braindead "advocate". > Be so kind as to explain where in any RFC relating to > MTA's is scanning the content specified? And the RFD for comp.os.linux.advocacy didn't specify no lying Linux shitheads who claim Linux is 50x faster than Windows. What's your point? > Because of Microsoft a fortune is spent in vainly trying to protect > Windows systems becoming infected with mail spamming trojans. You mean because of open source trojan delivery a fortune is spent. I calculated your share, freetard. You must've been floored. > You say you don't lie Never. > but your reply clearly is one.

You're so lame you have to get attention by using a variation of the most popular cola poster's nym.

Nobody would read his drivel if he wasn't using a variation of Hadron's moniker.

He sure has a way with the vile turn of phrase, doesn't he. >> willy-nilly with reckless disregard for the havoc they cause.
