Tech Wars..?

Is there a computer products SoftWare WAR going on out there in Internet land..? in which the big guns are doing all they can to disrupt the functionality of competitor's products..? in which the little guy is caught in the crossfire... and it's be only the little guy's machines take the brunt of the hits..?
Or is it just my overactive imagination..?

 

First the landing on the moon hoax thread and now this ....... lol I know of no tech war. Then again humpty dumpty was pushed, he knew to mutch . Thare should be a national paranoia day or something ....

 

yes.

 

Shh. That post didn't exist

Well, considering there are so many worms out there, and so many port scans happening constantly - you really have no idea what the hell is going on. If you tried to just tap a main Internet router you'd get a deluge of complete crap out of it. That's how companies make money out of Governments - they make very accurate and reliable searching applications so they can manage all this data.

I know that there are a bunch of governments who are putting serious funding into making searching algorithms to look for national security threats - or at least what they might think is a national security threat.

Personally I don't think it's the software you need to be worrying about...

 

Ok...

...I entered a well known corporate software link, and suddenly my HD went hyperactive.. and ALL my controls totally inoperative... I had to pull the AC-plug from the tower...

I ran the AVS and Spybot.. The AVS barely functioned, then crashed the PC... and all the Spybot delete bad thing buttons, were all ghosted... I couldn't delete any bugs.. and a dozen Spybot popups remained indelable on the screen... 2/3rds of the OS was inoperative... I had to format...

The thing is that the site I entered is in serious competition with Spybot and SeaMonkey...

All that mess is the reality part of it...

I'm just puttin' one and one together... and am wondering what that super hack-slam was all about..?

It may be just my silly imagination that wonders if there's a war going on out there between software competors.. but we wouldn't know, would we..? We're just the little minows in a big shark infested ocean.. and prettymuch all of our super hightech computer security is handed down to us by the big guns...


.

 

Thats not an example.

What was the url?

 

I sure am Not going back there to get it!...

If you want to.. go into the Hotmail login page.. scroll down a bit, and click on that $3000 free money link.. and tell the guy that his project looks like a pyramid scam.. and just wait a minute or so...

 

I agree that what you got was way over the top, but why would anybody with any savvy click on a "$3000 free money" link anyway? It's an obvious scam, even if not a drive-by download scum site.

[edit] I don't use Hotmail, but went to their login page, and don't see ANY ads. Either you can access some other login site or you were likely infected already with something popping up ads on its own. [/edit]

 

Thats not a corporate link

Thats called a malware site.

 

"Over the Top"... No kidding!..
"Drive-by download scum site"... Yup!..
Got me good... Yup!..
But what did it get the perp?.. a little rush?.. not even...
Maybe a little twinge in the bag..? Maybe..?
Maybe a momentary salty-taste in the mouth from the kill..? Maybe..?
Maybe just a little more bad Karma..? Probably...


That was a fresh ten-hour systems reload.. about twenty-minutes before I went into that site... and everything was working spiffy... Everything tested out A-1... This PC was as clean as a RollsRoyce's front window...

I had a Hotmail account, and a link to the hotmail login page in my bookmarks...
Maybe you need to already have an account to see the ad page..?
or maybe the big-stink I made about it resulted in it being removed, or moved..? don't know..? Just know it was mean and evil.. by someone without a clue about reality, nor any love of humanity.. probably someone whose brains are half-melted from sniffing too much premium quality pinlkish/white Brazilian powders... so it would seem that he really doesn't know what it is he is doing to others... Heck!.. He probably doesn't even know that there are others... I guess I just have to forgive him for being such an ape class subhuman...

No problem... I can take it.. My life has been full of that kind of thing, since I can remember... It's just that I hoped the wizards in this forum had a clue about it.. so I could work out a way to squash-it.. so it wouldn't happen to others...

 

So.. How Do bad things get on the News..? I.E.: "Rhodney King"...

Something in this Culture's toilet is caught redhanded... Then once partially exposed, the "avalanche of thruth" takes over...
Just cuz you don't see something, doesn't mean it's not there... I.E.: the horrid violent abuses of bag-people in New York city's back alleys... and bullies in schools... and bullies on the Internet... and priests molesting kids was a secret till a few years ago... I was thus molested at three months old by a priest uncle who babysat me while my parents went christmass shopping.. I know first hand about that evil stuff... Maybe this is the first light of something big happening on the Internet... Maybe it will get on the News soon... Probably, given that the Media and a lot of Intel offices are watching my emails very closely... Heck!.. even the teevee cartoons are in step with my output... so is the cinema industry...


I wouldn't click on those two msn links if you paid me!...


"Whats this Super Slam-Hack??"

It's slang for "OUCH!"...


Thank you for those two Prime MajorGeeks links...

 

Why this thread was un-locked, I'll never know.

Yes, someone close this PLZ... For great justice!

 

You've got some serious issues...

...and by the way, so as you don't think we're in on the conspiracy, those aren't MSN links Halo posted; they're harmless, docile, timid little screenshots...
