You will never stop these shady practices, as long as there are...
1.idiots who fall for phising emails
2.think it's safe to send banking information over unencrypted wireless connections
3.Think they can get free porn using an executable script/program someone they dont even know sent them
4.gah you get the point

MOST people are stupid and gullable I've come to realise that on my own through trying to figure out how banks make money : P.

Re:How to stop the evil internet!!!
 

banks, computer repair shops, mechanics.. pretty much every single profession makes money off of morons.

hard to find honest people.

are you going to be using IIS or apache on windows? i sure hope not ??? ...

i get absolutely ZERO spyware or viruses. however, i dont want to sound like a broken record as to why that is. *cough* ---- windows *cough*

Re:How to stop the evil internet!!!
 

spybot works awsome. I have used it for like a year now, and it has cleaned up so much, and takes care of alot of ----. it cleaned my moms computer out to an extreme.

Spybot is an awsome program, i would recommend it to anyone.

Re:How to stop the evil internet!!!
 

apache under windows right now. iam going to pick up a ---- box to run apache under unix sooner than later. is there something more secure apache under uni?x this is my first time

well you dont have to click yes or ok to anything anymore this ---- installs its self. iam a network administrator so i know not to click yes or ok to anything unless i activated the prompt. yes i do visit warez sites but they are only for serials so its not like downloading cracks with intergrated virus

you dont think you have spyware you just dont have one that is intrusive i bet if you run spybot and spywareblaster they will tell a different story.

Re:How to stop the evil internet!!!
 

get kazaa-lite and download mcafee for free. I'm running it and i got a 1-year subscription :P for free

Re:How to stop the evil internet!!!
 

how you get for free, legally?

Re:How to stop the evil internet!!!
 

I run spybot on my PC at home and get about 20 a week. Its a good program.

I prefer to use a Mac, b/c people dont take the time to ---- with them. I have a Mac at work and a powerbook at home, but my wife hates using it.

Apache under OpenBSD is the most secure webserver you can build. Since OpenBSD costs $$, FreeBSD is the next best alternative. Of course, any server is only as good as the person who configures it. Get and read the "Maximum [OS] security" books, they're pretty decent primers. Then just make sure to check bugtraq, securiteam, slashdot, packet storm, etc regularly to keep abreast of any new security holes and get them patched quickly.

Windows 2k/XP Pro can be fine for general home use, but you really have to know what's going on to avoid all the BS out there. Dumping IE and running FireFox is the one biggest security boost anyone running a windows OS can make. Using a good antivirus with regular, automatic updates is probably the second.

hey forget freeware. if you use MIRC.com with IRCSPY.COM you can get any i mean any program that you can think up with full crack keys. if you don't know how to use mirc i can do it for you. just write me a list and i'll mail it out for a small fee.

whats wrong with apache on windows you leet h4xz0r

Re:How to stop the evil internet!!!
 

agreed, except for a few things. last time i checked, openbsd was available for free download?
http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html
also, i happen to own many books on the topic of o/s security. they are usually pretty descent, but by the time they hit the bookstores they are obsolete. save your money and just keep up with your security needs with google.
because apache was meant for *nix. it does not run "right" on windows. it even says so on their website. and you dont have to be a "1337 h4Xz0r" to use *nix. i have experience in many mainstream operating systems as well as proprietary ones, and i just happen to prefer linux for desktop, unix for server, and windows for gaming ONLY.
