Let me guess: We’re going back to pocket calculators and No. 2 pencils?

[Azeem]

IT’s all good until the Russians figure out a virus to disable it. No system is safe.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I’m at the point of thinking that is a good idea. :/

"Could Kill Malware Forever" is a totally irresponsible phrase.

"Could Kill Malware Forever" is a totally irresponsible phrase.

Might as well say "Could Make Monkeys Fly Out of Your Butt."

  As Apple learned recently.
  when malware has a financial motive, it's hard to stop - if they can't get into a computer, they'll call people on the phone and convince them that their computer is sending them "signals."

Thanks to NeverEVERKerry for the heads up!

Apparently Microsoft really messed up when the built an OS that doesn’t crash, needs virtually no support because it actually works.

XP.

No, a Russian is going to figure out how to make only malware enabled to run on your device, it is the ultimate exploit!

“they’ll call people on the phone and convince them that their computer is sending them “signals.” “

Yes, I’ve had them try that with me a few times.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Would like to see an operating system that wreaks vengeance on the creators and purveyors of malware, spyware, and viruses.

I don’t really understand. How is this any different than the really annoying UAC popup every time I run a new executable in Win 8/7/etc? How does this block malware run through zips or porn that people download from random emails/websites?

Win8 really isn’t that bad once you get ClassicShell installed. The only problem I ever have is the different hotels I work at will use DNS poisoning on their networks, which messes up my computer connecting to other hotel networks. Sometimes have to restart 2-3 times to get the login splash page to even show up :/
