    We have lists of known nasties ;)

    and then we know pretty well what should and shouldn't be running.. HJT even has some sites which will scan a log for you and point out nasties based on a users database of applications and files.

    boing boing ;) http://www.hijackthis.de/

    Of course only people who insist on using mickey mouse OS from a certain well known vendor of crap will ever need the services of all these other programs and services.. me? I just run bastille and tripwire and my important files have a checksum stashed elsewhere on my machine so I know if anybody has been tampering. Not that they have much chance.. only things I make executable can run.. nothing from outside has those rights.

    Not trying to hijack the thread (no pun intended), but I just have to point out that varnull you are a freaking genius. Now just remember that in case I ever make you mad in the future so I can have one freebie! :)

    Just to reply.. who needs malware when there are wonderful programs like cinelerra which refuse to run no matter what you do ;)

    I have a kettle and a David Duchovny poster just to remind me the truth is out there, though it may not seem like it sometimes XD

    I collect malware if anybody wants some.. hehehehehe...
