Agree, and I am heartbrokenastonished "It" Hasn't happened yet.
Though there WAS a heartwarming start when that infamous Russian spammer was found bludgeoned to death in his office last year.
Where are the copycats when you NEED them?
Seriously, there is a father and son team in CA that has caused untold damage, and they get off with consent orders. They should be gutted and impaled in front of their families, in a Perfect World.

Don’t worry about snoops. Your greatest threat is contracting a virus that scans your computer for information and sends it out, not a random snooper. The chances of someone sniffing your line is almost nil. And if they really want to do it, you can’t stop them.

My servers at home are old and well past their prime. But they do work as my sandbox. I would like to have the boss spring for a big beefy one that I could load virtual server and only need one box. That ain’t going to happen.

Yep.
I actually had a user one time stop by my office and tell me that the coffee maker had stopped working and he actually had a look on his face like he expected me to fix it...

Okay thanks,I’ll go with the last one. I’m picturing Jimmy Fallon as “Nick Burns The Company Computer Guy.” If your ever in the area I’ll show you how to bust down a front quarter of beef with a 12 inch knife and a hand saw. (Meat cutter by trade.)

I hate phone system questions. I know next to nothing about phone systems, but that doesn’t stop anyone.
PDA’s have been the bane of my existence, too.

Thanks. Ok I'll leave those two alone then. I knew what the tireremote process uses and will continue to delete that even though I have it turned off.... Thanks for the Autoruns page.....I'll see if i can download it and run it. I really have nothing to hide...I just want to know how I'm being watched.The best thing about it (and MSCONFIG) is that it allows you to experiment and see how things work when you boot your system without certain processes automatically running, so you don't have to kill them. This is especially useful when you find that you're having startup problems that you suspect is caused by "dueling software."

IT knows all the porn sites youve been cruising. Well, of course. Do you think I'm gonna waste my time finding those sites by myself? Efficiency, my FRiend. Efficiency.
To: cyberaxe
I guess I like more permanent solutions.
Virus writers deserve death. But if that’s off the table, then I will opt for maiming. Both hands at the elbow would be acceptable.

Yes but do you have a MVS “POO” manual?

Is this a joke? Why don’t they run a how-to-cheat-on-your-exams primer.
