Ok so I've installed adblocker on every machine in the building now so that we can't get hit by ad virus. I've also installed some remote control software on every family computer so we can install ad blocker on them and do virus scans etc...
I've uninstalled Java... --> No more OpenOffice for us thanks... no more freemind, in fact we just lost a bunch of cool open source, free (as in beer) applications...
Just looking about for the best price for MS Office 2010 that I can use in my small home based business and looking at renewing my subscription to the Press and setting up a Geekzone sub....
HOLD ON!.... I need to get my Tin Foil hat on...
This latest attack, what is the outcome -
* I'll be taking money from ad companies... --> effectively stealing public content, as the condition of the MetService data is that it's subject to supply with ads?
* I'm dumping a whole suit of software from a provider group (bye bye Java)...
* I'm to be spending cash with a single provider for my software...
So what I'm pondering, while my head gets warm from the wifi rays that my tin foil hat is gathering, is if this virus has more than already done it's intended job?
Was it really after my credit card details?
Was it really after my internet banking password?
Was it on some anti-social corporate mission to drive me back to a news paper, make publicly funded web sites deliver the world information for free and stomp out free (as in beer) software?
...or have I just been sitting under this hat to long?
