I’m just glad you stopped drinking out of tin cans… tin poisoning …. TIN POISONING.
As a System …
As a System Administrator & Network Security Analyst, I know what I am talking about. Do cache searches and contact mixcat or read about it on packetstorm, mixcat worked with it, the page is meant to be there as it’s part of the “virus’s” implementation. It’s not a virus, to be correct in terminology it’s a worm involving xss.
“You clearly don’t …
“You clearly don’t understand.”
You have no idea what the you are talking about. The virus sent victims’ computer connections to mixcatcom’s hosting plan web page. He later redirected that link to a anti-virus web page. The virus is still infecting computers, and mixcatcom is an evil for using a computer virus.
You clearly don’t …
You clearly don’t understand. He didn’t change the page to display that, the webhost was in on the “virus” which brings you to said page which has a preset search for spyware removal, that way it is clicked and linked to and shows up in spyware removal searches as a spyware removal search.

Desertphile, I am unsure if you are aware. There are progs called tubinator and youtube automator that “apparently” can achieve these things. views, etc. I do not know if this is true, whether it works or not.. they cost $. Perhaps that could be your next video. Just google it… I believe there to be more out there than the 2 progs. I remember seeing youtubetoobox get their account suspended. Not sure why, but they had a similar prog. spam spam spam

Well, thank you.
*bows deeply*
I honestly have no …
I honestly have no idea. Let me see if I understand you at this point.
Your objection to my “tip” is that you’ve been able to run Windows since 1993, while contracting only one virus, which despite your “n00b” status you were able to fix. At the same time you acknowledge the architecture of *nix based systems offers much better security, and also that most users don’t know what they’re doing and are likely to have their systems compromised?
Is that it? Because that is brilliant.
hahaha, ing …
hahaha, ing HILARIOUS.
Sorry, but “they’re …
Sorry, but “they’re getting sloppy, much like Micro$haft” does NOT equal “systems are just a vulnerable to exploits as…”
In that same statement, I also said, “exploits of *nix systems have been gaining ground…” This does not mean “just as vulnerable.” It means “getting closer.”
Are we speaking the same brand of English?
“To append that, …
“To append that, just in case your OS of choice might not be an Apple product, exploits of *nix systems have been gaining ground at a somewhat alarming rate. Granted, the basic structure is security-focused, but the strength of that security depends on programmers. And they’re getting sloppy, much like Micro$haft.”
I take that as an argument that unix based systems are “much like” Windows wrt security. If that’s not the case then I’m not sure why you bothered responding to me.
“The problem is …
“The problem is that most people *don’t* know what they’re doing.”
In an era when many computer owners barely know where the power button is, I would think that would be a given.
“But that says …
“But that says nothing about your claim that *nix systems are just a vulnerable to exploits as Windows systems.”
Would you care to point out exactly where I said this?
And yes, I do know how *nix systems work.
The problem is that …
The problem is that most people *don’t* know what they’re doing.
But that says …
But that says nothing about your claim that *nix systems are just a vulnerable to exploits as Windows systems.
It’s a simple matter of not running an operating system as a user that has root level permissions to execute code against system resources. Even if a trojan was able to get onto your system you would need to have sudo level permissions (and enter authentication) to allow it to do anything malicious to the system. You do know how Unix based systems work, right?
“You’ll forgive me …
“You’ll forgive me if I don’t your single case as proof of anything.”
Well, it’s certainly proof that your “Pro tip” is less than valid. Running Windoze does not have to be hazardous to your computer’s health, if you know what you’re doing.
“Got any evidence …
“Got any evidence of that?”
Go to (worldwidewebdot)us-cert(dot)gov and start reading. I’ve been on their mailing list since the research team was based at Carnegie Mellon Institute.
Granted, the majority of exploits are against Windoze systems, because 1) out of the box the recent ones *are* security nightmares, and 2) they’re 95% of the consumer market, but they’re not the only targets these days.
