EDIT- wrong forum, please move:D
-
This is real $HIT !!! :D :laughing:
-
kazaa + morpheus = virus and security flaws galore
wont catch me running those spyware apps
-
Download Adaware to get rid of the spyware.
-
adaware can ONLY spot and remove ads its "aware" of
:)
use of kazaa and morpheus opens yer system wide up
-
so which file sharing programs do u use mm?
-
Download the "Karate Bloopers" clip...
Priceless...
:laughing:
-

Actually only KaZaA and Grokster feature the dreaded Spyware, Morpheus is clean :)
-
when it comes to dvd rips i think im gonna plead the fifth on this one
and i think i no another person who would too lol ;)
-
its not just spyware, morpheus creates security loopholes giving outside access
nm, no would listen anyway
:(
-
got firewall?
-
hows a firewall gonna stop something when morpheus ALREADY has persmission rights?
you guys are missing the logic here
thats fine tho, keep DL yer divx and pr0n off morpheus and watch what happens

I see most of where you are comming from..but for what I dont understand and the ones that dont understand a thing..explain more... Info is a great thing :)
As for giving permission, ever since I got broadband and installed a firewall..Ive had NO more spyware crap to delete from adaware. Also, I can DL..all the while refusing to allow server access. At least thats what mi proggie is telling me.

the spyware "only" gets installed when you install other programs, such as kazaa or cuteftp or napster. they get paid by companies to "sneak" their products onto yer PC. spyware just doesnt show up
morpheus has security flaws that can be exposed, just like AOL messenger or ICQ. ANY program that acts as an FTP server in some shape or form has potential to allow others access to yer drives. morpheus is such a program. it has been shown to contain several such flaws and i\'ve read countless reports of people that sent others virus\' [viri] posed as movies or apps that contained trojans or other more vicious viri
firewall or no firewall, if a program has permission to accept information sent from the internet, then the firewall is pointless
i remember years back when we pulled a prank on another student. he was running G3 [a ftp progam allowing access to specific directories]. me and my friends are no l33t hackers but we knew damn well enough how to match a small batch file that wouldnt show on the screen what it was doing when it was ran. we named it "FUNNY! WATCH THIS MOVIE!". know what happened when he clicked on it? nothing. well, nothing that he could see. what the batch file did was create a "quick shutdown" shortcut in his windows startup folder. so when the poor guy turned his PC on, as soon as windows booted it would shut right back down again. it was the funniest thing to see his keep saying, "WTF!" .after 3 days, i told him what we did and fixed it.
i\'ll give an extra star to the 1st person who
can tell me how to fix this :)
this is just a VERY small idea of what can be done. its very possible to make a batch file to delete yer windows\\system folder OR format yer C:\\ drive without needing a confirmation
ack,im rambling!
:eek:
At least thats what mi proggie is telling me.
famous last words :)
-
Althought i use morpheus, i gotta give it to mm there, i have downloaded countless virii and trojan horses off there, luckily, Norton picked them all up, and i have had no problems. I cant say the same for one of my mates tho, muhahaha!!
-
I use Kazaa all the time but i usually dont download movies im more into downloading game demos and music

*lol* I used to do this to at school with a few friends. Let me guess; he was using Win95 or 98 and you used a certain Rundll32.exe command (with the necessary paramters) to shut down his computer? ... :D
