I think you can distinguish Surfers From Webmasters.
 

I don't know about you. I don't get spywear. When it comes to IE's loops/holes. I don't click "yes I accept" when prompted.

I have never gotten spywear. Installed on my pc. This includes Gator.com.malware,ect..


Seriously,

Real computer savey people don't get tricked.

ermm i get spyware at times....

I bet it takes you no less then 30 seconds to remove it.

Seriously what if 1/2 the people on GFY had to go though.


Buddylist.exe and Buddylist.shs

Back in 97..

Well it depends of your security settings too ... some can auto install if they are too low

true
some times spyware is fun

This happened to me last week. I had set my security settings to enable, not prompt, to test out some activex webcam software, then forgot to reset it.

I went to some site and got that damn search2begin shit installed. :BangBang:

Yes..You got infected. It should take you 1 reboot to get it out right?

Some people bitch and complain that it can't get the spywear out makes you wonder..are they even webmasters?

Anyways ... you guys should all get firefox

BTW KRM a lot of spywares auto install with free trials on download.com ...

Actually, I edited the registry manually to remove it....but your point is right on.

I don't even bother installing anti-virus software on my pc at home or work, because I just don't get viruses. How would I know if I had one then? Every once in awhile I install AVG, run fullscan, see no viruses, uninstall it
