And Do You Have a Bridge For Sale?

[dpaul007.livejournal.com]

I adore users who, while I am remotely connected to their computer cleaning out spyware, vehemently deny *ever* having been anywhere on the web on their company computer.

So I open up -- while he's watching -- C:\Documents And Settings\USERNAME\Temporary Internet Files.

And I highlight each cookie pointing to Webshots, Online Casinos, EVEN SOME PR0N, and let it sit there.

He asks,"What are you doing now?"

...pause...

Me: "Oh, just making some screenshots." (I was eating a slice of pizza, actually)

Him: "Um, I see."

I cleaned up Gator, Webshots, and deleted his history and cache for him.

"Ooops, looks like I have to escalate this, sir."

Hehehehe.

Hey its a job man, and possibly a well paying one. Worst case scenario, I'll know how to really remove it all and give you all tips if I actually got it.

Odds are, they're going to want your help in making their spyware even MORE unremovable than it already is.

Their practices are probably no worse then any megacorp that sells out their techsupport to india. At least with gator you know they're trying to screw you over.

I encourage you to join them and leave a backdoor removal script that you won't share with anyone but us, if you MUST make it harder to remove. Say, ping a computer in a specific series of ports and off it goes, automagically :).

If you must join the dark side, at least throw us a bone :).
