OT: Where can I download a Virus or three?

[Romulus68]

Funny story.....My friend (different girl) who knew little about computers got hacked by a friendly hacker! She had no firewalls or much of anything at the time.....He hacked in and started talking to her on Net messenger (I think). Here is the funny/cool part. He explained security and hacking then proceeded to download Anti-virus programs, spybots, firewalls, etc. He then installed them, ran them and cleaned up her system for her. He lastly told her how to activate the firewall and he would then disappear from her machine. It was most amusing, but VERY much true.

I think she is going to wipe the systems clean and reinstall everything. Most everything she does is web surfing and email. No gaming or working on the PC's, so its no biggee for her with no need to reinstall a bunch of stuff. After that its a matter of installing all the security software and checking her email to make sure nothing is getting forwarded.

Everyone, Thanks for the GREAT suggestions! I'll put some of that to work for myself, especially the wireless router issues.
