"Researchers from a little-known security software company named Sunbelt Software have seemingly uncovered a criminal identity theft ring of massive proportions. According to one of their employees, Alex Eckelberry, during the course of one of their recent investigations into a particular Spyware application—rumored to be called CoolWebSearch—they've discovered that the personal information of those "infected" was being captured and uploaded to a server."
...
The list of stolen information includes not only bank accounts but website passwords, eBay accounts, what sort of adult images you fancy, and, supposedly, even more...


Sunbelt has not confirmed what spyware it is, but think of how many machines you've found CoolWebShit on... THAT's how big this scam might be.

Note to idiots:

I DO NOT NEED YOU TO READ EVERYTHING ON THE SCREEN TO ME!

Also, stop making me fucking REPEAT myself. If you cleaned out your god damned ears and LISTENED the first time you wouldn't have to ask me.

Fuck, I hate these people.
