MOAB: Meh...
Ok, I've remained quiet for a while, I've looked at these bugs that this group has
been releasing... the majority of them never will affect anyone, even though they
might get infected...

File sharing, Remote Access, and all other forms of network sharing is turned off
from the get go.

All the bugs they are finding are simply put bugs that generic users can spend
being a tad bit smart, and solve the issues of ever obtaining these bugs...

1. Don't open E-mails from people you don't know.
2. Don't open attachments from people you don't know.
3. Don't have remote access, web hosting, internet sharing, or anything on a
system you use every day, unless it is behind a firewall.
4. Don't make your password something that can be found easily in the dictionary.
7. Use private browsing when possible.
8. Don't save cookies, cache, or passwords on your system.
9. Don't download files from Limewire, Bittorrent, and of the sort.
10. Don't be an idiot, and expect people outside of your circle of friends to be
nice... treat everything you get from a 3rd party, including software as potentially
dangerous.
11. Don't run movies, or scripts automatically on your web browser, unless you
designed the site yourself.

Follow these rules and you will never need an anti-virus program, and you will
never need to worry about any of these bugs. I've been doing it for 20 years and
I've only seen three viruses in my life, and they all originated from a PC.
