Poll question: What do you wish should be done to a virus or spyware maker ?

Minutes ago i was victim of a vicious spyware infection(OK,victim is to strong of a word but...).In each and every threads/posts that i went to, there was words in blue and underlined(hyperlinks) and if you clicked on them it opened a damn web page that had nothing to do with anything said in the thread.

Everybody was saying "What the hell are you talking about?".

Damn ! I felt like a character from a bad episode of the Twilight zone.You know, the guy who screams: the aliens are among us and nobody believe him ?

Anyway,what do you wish should be done to a virus or spyware maker ?

1. Inject them with a random virus and send them on their way

"Just wait till you find out which virus you got!"

2. This one's easy....

A life sentence working at a help desk!

7. couldn't agree more! n/t

3. I like the virus thingie. hadn't thought of that

But, instead, I'd but them in a totally computer controlled, contained room, with one windows machine providing all life support. Air, heat, water, food, everything. No fire walls, no security programs, no Utilities on the machine. Just a fulltime broadband connection and a robot opening every attachment for each piece of mail that comes in.

if the computer crashes, their air supply ends.

5. Oh boy ! Make it Windows 95 and we have a deal !

:evilgrin:

9. Bah, 95 is too stable.... Use Windows NT 4

Fucker will be gasping before the bootup sequence finishes.

4. Life sentence of watching "Gigli" 24/7

Now THERE is some punishment!

8. Excuse me for my ignorance but...

What the hell is Gigli ?:shrug:

16. TERRIBLE Ben Affleck/J-Lo stinker

This was towards the end of the "Bennifer" crap. It was like the worst movie made last year, it even swept the Razzie awards.

Put it in a double feature with Mariah Carey's "Glitter" and I think we have a suitable warm-up punishment for the bastards that make spyware.

6. Being held captive and

being forced to listen to all the songs in this thread

10. You're so cruel !

I like it ! :evilgrin:

11. 5 years hard time working the Prayer Hotline at the 700 Club...

that'll teach the little twerp..

12. virus maker

There should be a way to disable the virus makers ability to use the net for a period of time, depending on how much damage was done, this aside from repaying all damages that can be detected.

13. Sending out spyware and adware should be illegal.

I don't subscribe too much to the "liberal lie" explained in a previous thread by Rabrrrrr, but I think it would be a great deterrent to the bastard corporatiions who sent out shit to people's computers. Fine a company all the money they have if they do it, and send the top perpetrators to jail, that's what I say.

I just got rid of a whole bunch of shit on my computer last night, so I'm kind of pissed at these people too.

[HEyHEY]

14. Drafted into Bush's war?

[Bongo Prophet]

15. Turn them toward good (recruit them!)

Imagine $millions$ disappearing from Scaife, BFEE, etc. and showing up in the accounts of various charities.

17. Victim is NOT too strong a word

Ugh you don't know what I've gone through with spyware on my mom's PC. She had an unfortunate tendency to download anything and everything until I educated her about this stuff. She downloaded that Bonzi Buddy crap and it took me forever to get rid of it, it just would not go away.

We managed to get ourselves a dialer program once...THAT was fun. :eyes: Luckily I squashed it before my mom got hit with any charges.

The worst has to be that "Cool Web Search"...that is by far the most obnoxious spyware ever made. I had to use a program called CWS to get rid of it.

Don't want spyware? Mozilla Firefox + Spybot + Ad-Aware and Spyware Blaster for good measure. It might sound like overkill but you can never have to much protection, and I haven't had spyware since I went with this setup.

18. Man I hate that stuff!

:mad:!!
