Now the story is a little different. It seems that MS is helping people remove spyware that was hacked into the MS updates. This spyware is extremely hard to remove.
It tracks what you do, makes a copy of your favorites and the cookies, etc. and sends the information out before your security installs, when your computer starts up
or after your security shuts down and before the computer shuts down. I was told that even major security programs have back doors and can't be trusted. It would not surprise me to hear that our government is part of this problem.
I put a switch on my modem. I don't turn it on until security in running. I turn it off before I shut down the computer.
The computer turns off and on, faster now.
I was told that this will not help much, as some of the hacking programs will often also work when I connect to and work on the net.
Well if the government's new proposed law passes and turns the internet into a utility, I'm sure the government will do a better job of controling the net.
PS: They also put on fast track the proposal to control all media, who can own it and what is said on each of the 4 media services, etc. (Newpapers radio, TV, and the net.)
We will have to learn how to comunicate using mental telepathy.
THEY MAY EVEN HACK THAT.
