Not if it meant violating people's constitutional rights. Nothing justifies that.

Inquiring minds want to know. You know all of this about your switch and you've not returned it yet? What compels you to keep it? Does it whip up a tasty mocha latte on the side?

You're right. I have Vipre Enterprise installed on a virtual machine that I use for work. I created a C:\Windows\SL directory then had Vipre scan the Windows folder. It claimed to have found StarLogger installed.

If multiple antivirus products falsely report this, then that's just sad. I'm surprised just the presence of a directory would be considered a signature.

Makes me trust antivirus products even less than I already do.

Man Threatened Spam Attack In $200,000 Extortion Plot 77

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday March 10, 2010 @03:17PM from the can't-believe-this-didn't-work dept.

52-year-old Anthony Digati was arrested for trying to extort $200,000 from an insurance firm by threatening to spam them with six million emails unless they paid up. Digati said he would use a spam service and his amazing talents as a "huge social networker" to drag the company "through the muddiest waters imaginable" and presumably unfriend everyone. He added that the price would increase to $3 million if they failed to pay up by Monday, according to federal authorities.

New Crossover Release With Improved Compatibility 104

Posted by kdawson on Friday March 05, 2010 @11:44AM from the lin-win dept.

solanum writes "On March 2nd Crossover 9.0 was released. CrossOver 9 features a new user interface that focuses on making installation of Windows software quicker and easier than previous versions. Another new feature is CrossOver's ability to download installation 'recipes' directly from CodeWeavers online Compatibility Database. 'If another CrossOver user has figured out how to use CrossOver to install a Windows application, they can upload that installation recipe to our database,' said Jeremy White, CodeWeavers chief executive officer. 'As we go forward, and build this online storehouse, CrossOver will begin to automatically install that same application for other users. This enables us to move closer to a world where CrossOver will begin to run the majority of Windows apps, and not just an officially supported subset. In other words, our diabolical plot for world domination is going exactly as planned,' he added. Early reviews and comments are positive, and my own experience is that many more Windows applications work in this new version than previously."
