Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting

directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to

pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST

Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access

to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

 

And do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their

posting identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?

 

Stalking, even in usenet is a crime, there are enough pages from your

filthy site to prove you're stalking me in your posts, I have them

documented and certified authentic - it's your call now Stalker.

Your failure to respond in an appropriate manner once again gives me cause for doubt.

 

C/Net are, I understand, part of ZDnet - a highly regarded organisation.

 

How do I know? Personal recommendation from a family member who is a guru with IBM here in the UK.

 

If you provide evidence, I will pass it on to IBM to investigate if you so wish. It will not be

ignored.

Site Advisor also states that my files are clean. Site advisor is also being

sued for for what it calls "credible users" and for stating a site is bad

when it is not.

Here is the thing-cNet,ZDnet are not just a place to get

help/info/programs etc. They are businesses. And like any other business

they have an agenda. They sell/serve up ads. When you download something

they offer other downloads. When you search for info they list similar

info. Revenue is what makes it go. Their reviews of software/hardware are

not "fair and balanced".

Because that foreign site is beyond the grasps of the USA's DMCA law, the

same law that took his site down permanently when it was hosted on a US

site. Taken down because he used stolen software and got caught. That's the

Real Truth. He also tried to blame it on me. Had I been involved with that

then I would have for damn sure let everybody know about it when it

happened.

All they need to do is search for PCBUTTS1 and IMPERSONATE to see the

number of times you've impersonated me, david, others.... You have more

fake names that a drug dealer.

Antivirus 2009 is a virus itself. (antispyware xp 2009, antivirus 2009, xp

antivirus 2008 and many other clones it has) These are rogue spyware

programs, Antivirus 2009 uses fake warning popups, fake security alerts to

scare and trick user into buying a "full" version of Antivirus 2009 that

costs you 30 $ or even 49 $. it is scam.

 

Ok, the site below will help you remove antivirus 2009

No, a virus is a very specific type of malware.

Clones are very nearly identical copies, the above are more like a

family of malware.

No, they are rogue antispyware/antivirus programs. You don't want

spyware, so you want antispyware - and these are rogue because

are designed to act like what you want, but then greatly misbehave

once you run them. I consider them trojans (trojan horse programs).

 

Metaphorically, if the Greek's, from the horse, each built another

horse - put more soldiers inside said horse, and attacked more cities

and repeating the process over and over and over - it still wouldn't

be a virus (but that comes really close to demonstrating what a worm

is), but a recursively self-replicating program.
