Take it as a badge of honor to have been targeted and have your system crashed by a custom trojan meant just for you! Call me paranoid, but I certainly do.

They don't do it wholesale (which would attract too much attention and possible discovery) but they do it just to folks who get close to some critical grains of truth, to the individuals hot on a trail and appearing to take a leadership role. They want to demoralize you and get you to quit, knowing that each person can only take so much abuse.

Once they have identified you as a target, they appear to attach a trojan in hiding at websites like Orly's, Right-side-of-life, or Natual Born Citizen pre-programmed to look for a list of internet ID's with your ID on it waiting for you to connect. As soon as you are connected, you are infected and your anti-virus program and firewall are penetrated. Then your boot-up sequence if corrupted forcing you to restore your system or worse! I have had far fewer of these suspected attacks since I dumped McAfee and installed Microsoft Security Essentials.

I think they’re playing with me right now. I think they want to know what I know. But don’t want me to be able to post it to anybody else.

They don’t want me to post about the birth announcements.

McAfee is bad news.
