Well then better start sending all the sneaky corporations to jail then. I too hate crap on my computer but 100% of the crap that gets into my computer is from scummy spyware, spam and such. Not to mention the crap MS puts on with windows that I don't want.

No doubt more time than if he'd gone down to a bar got drunk and beat the living crap out of someone and killed him. Gotta love the legal system.

this seemed to be one of the worse virus, alot of money and head aches.

Hmm I wonder how much money was lost. One thing is certain is that companies always totally exagerate the amoutn lost by such things. Ever hear how much some companies claimed to have lost as a result of Keven Mitnick's hacking? It's a f-ing joke.
