Rootkits: very scary viruses coming soon. Ha, ha, ha!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — giantkicks @ 6:03 pm

+ There are virus writers out there who are way smarter than your average virus writer. These people are writing a new breed of virus called a kernel rootkit. These new viruses are pretty much undetectable by your average to moderately skilled computer user. Kernel rootkits sits quietly hidden inside the very core or ‘root’ of Windows, specifically in the kernel. What that means is that it leaves no indication that anything unusual is happening. It is virtually invisible. No unusual programs running, no noticable processor drain, no memory loss, no slowing, nothing. If however, for some reason there was suspicion and the rootkit discovered through comparing the questioned operating system to a clean one, there is no way to repair it. The harddrive must be erased. Be afraid, be very afraid - Computerworld

+ Also, on a much lighter note (unless you are her) check out chick going off!! Watch her smash cities, kick balls, breakdance, play hockey, etc.

    Which broken link are you refering to. They all work for me in Firefox!?

  3. Ariadna Says:

    Are you insinuating that I don’t use Firefox? How rude!

  4. kent Says:

    Ha ha! Are you implying that I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know how in the know you are? Who’s rude?
    I thought maybe you tried a link at work, where possibly they didn’t have Firefox, and you were stuck using that crappy IE thing.
