Of Viruses and Crack-heads……..
All you windows users out there, I know you are old hands at being infected so this may not sound intriguing at all.
I have a Windows XP installed on my box. My brother insists that it is much simpler to play Need For Speed on Windows ( wonder what gave him that idea ) and thus by forcing my hand via the long arm of parental law has managed to retain the XP alongside of my Debian Etch installation.
My friends also use Windows on my laptop.
The other day, on return from a most gratifying visit to the hostel mess, I found my machine with XP booted up, unmanned, anti-viruses flaming with protests of some security breach. I sat down to see what was wrong and found out that some nut called Ahsan had taken over ( God!, I hate mentioning that crack-head’s name! ). Check out my friend Anil’s blog for the gory details.
Well it takes one crazy guy to catch one. Anil did catch this virus which had stumped most of us and some of the more common safe-gaurding softwares. And he has posted on how to get rid of you-know-who. I really love having ANF to do what needs to be done.
