Well, I walked in this a.m. to hear The Dork� lecturing The Managing Partner� on the use of this new, wonderful, brilliant, important, crucial, vigilant, much needed, and 'you should be glad you have ME here to protect you,' - POS "virus protection software" called Ad-Aware. I mean, it sounds like a good program for its INTENDED USE, but I soooo can't figure out why he's getting his pink panties all in an bunch over it.


Buah, I just read this. Maybe I should give it a try.

Surely you must know some legal loophole that will let you kill him and get away with it!

C'mon Tony, Think!




Ad-Aware rocks, I run it every now and then to clean crap off my computer that got installed when I was using IE instead of Mozilla.

Well, I just want to update whoever it was that suggested that I invest in an 'Earth Magnet' a few months back (for that issue I was having with those nails in my lawn). I went to Home Depot and they never heard of such a thing Are there any websites that one would want to avoid while running Win98 - so that I could REALLY test how wonderful this program is

Yeah, you really want to avoid this site while using Windows98, or any other operating system for that matter. I mean it. Your program can't help you. Don't click that link! (You've been warned!)

My privacy is a great concern to me but for almost all my clients, the spyware is something they just don't know and don't care and i'm talking here about 99.5% of all people.
This is why malware sh*t like webhance, cydoor etc. are getting so much money and is the reason why we all receive A LOT OF UNSOLICITED EMAIL (SPAM) every day.
I'm really sick of it!
It is not only the info about you what they steal, it's the way they use it to spam you to death!
If people does not realize that this spyware is important to be careful of, they will never stop.
I want to say that AD-AWARE and the people who created it deserves A BIG THANK YOU

...and for the people who creates webhancer, cydoor etc. HAVE A BIG FUC* YOU, YOU MOTHER FU****S...get your money from somewhere else lamers.

It's called a "rare earth" magnet. Some are also called neodymium magnets. Here is an example of a site selling them I found when I looked it up on google:
