Spam, Spyware and Scum

[Since I missed yesterday’s post, I’ll put up two today]
I’ve had to disinfect a laptop that was infested with spyware, not the most pernicious variety – the majority of it was hopelessly amateurish – but highly annoying nevertheless.
Pop-ups were flying, search engines co-opted, dozens (and I do mean dozens) of extraneous processess were starting at boot time and making the whole pc practically grind to a halt.
Most of them were fairly easy to remove, however one remained incredibly stubborn, and took several hours to finally purge. But I managed it.
So, makers of Look2Me and WinAntivirusPro, if I ever meet you I shall remove your kneecaps with a screwdriver.
Then make you eat them.
And when you shit out your kneecaps that I made you eat I’ll make you eat it so you shit out the shit that was your kneecaps.
Then, perhaps, you’ll feel a quadrillionth of how you deserve to feel.

This has to be the worst form of adware out there. It attacked my computer for weeks until i got an uninstaller from http://www.tryxoftspy.com. What’s crazier is that i have no idea how i got it in the first place. scumware indeed.
