Manchurian microchips phone home...do you know who your computer is talking to?

[sylph16]

The myth: Chinese intelligence services have concealed a microchip in every computer everywhere, programmed to "call home" if and when activated.

The reality: It may actually be true.

may i suggest a little program that was bought by microsoft because it was too good and sealed the holes microsoft wanted left open, now known as microsoft antispyware. search and download giant antispyware version 1.0. its innoculation system really does do a good job.

...this program was recommended when other antispyware progs didnt find the nasties of 2004 brought to the web and my computer and still use it to this day.

nice one donny.....thats it

i got 1.0.285 and i guess .301 wont be that much difference. as long as its b4 microsofts buyout. if anyone wants the version i have, pm me with an email addy and ill send it thru...

dont worry about registering the prog, it no longer has a site to download from but all u want it for is to innoculate ur pc. use a freeware spy/virus killer like avg 7 free and zonealarm firewall free. uninstall and delete the norton and mcafee pay thru the nose for holes in ur security programs. the free programs always beat the expensive progs. think of the expensive av and firewall programs as being talked into buying a large 4x4 for protection but realising u cant get thru the traffic and theres no fuel to run it and the free stuff as a nimble scooter darting thru the queues and doesnt cost 1/100th of the fuel to run.

rubbish analogy i know but couldnt think of anything else on the fly!

peace and love KE

Removing McAfee crashed my computer a few years ago. Had to re-install and all that. I don't trust their products.
