Rootkit numbers rocketing up, McAfee says

Of course....: If anyone tries to discredit them, you'll find yourself up against city hall since THEY have the credentials and we don't. And talking about rootkits and virii, there are MANY legitimate programs out there with the possibility of being a rootkit or at least a virii, but nothing is being done about it... An example is a program called PACE. If you are in the audio world, you may have come across that nasty freakin piece of ruthless garbage. This thing sits hidden deep inside your system and comes alive when you try make changes to YOUR system or components. And will disable the associated program and possibly more unless you contact the originating company to re-authorize. I'm talking about just simply replacing a motherboard or harddrive... it basically fries your system... but the makers of PACE have the world convinced that it's the best thing since peanut butter....; Posted by: DarbyOhara Posted on: 04/18/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
