Linux Opinion: An Open Letter to a Digital World (LinuxWorld)(Printview): "The clean up from these types of infections is great fun. I spent not less than 5 hours running about every spyware prevention program known to man. Each one searching for those pesky files and registry settings. The worst thing of all was that, once I cleared them off the disk, simply starting Internet Explorer would reinfect the whole system. Seriously, it was great fun and I did, eventually, have the satisfaction of beating the problem. That's right - a system administrator for 10 years with a degree in computer science and a RHCE CAN clean up a single spyware infection in 5 hours." Maybe the ACLU should sue Microsoft. Two sources of evil in perpetual death grip. Worse could happen.
