So, my buddy tosses a LAN party today. I haul my machine & try to install Rise of Nations. Something fucks up & the system hangs. After a couple tries at this, I decide to run AdAware cos I check the task manager & some odd processes are there. 250+ goddamn spyware objects. TWO HUNDRED FUCKING FIFTY!
"How in the mother of fuck did those get there," I wonder aloud.
I check the task manager for current processes. My buddy looks at it & says, "KHost.exe? What the hell is that?"
Oh, yes, indeed, the dreaded Kazaa. One of my roommates will pay dearly for this. So I think to myself, "Oh, shizzle, wonder if I got any viruses." Do the McAfee free scan. Two separate viruses, one merely somewhat annoying, the other with a disabled keystroke log.
Then I looked at the directory of the infected file. After cursing loudly several times, it hit me exactly where it came from.
Anyhow, apparently, I've been a tad lax in my security measures, considering that no one uses my machine but me, & I generally don't do things stupid enough to warrant getting a goddamned virus. Apparently, this must change as some fucker got to my computer without my knowing & not telling me. What's everyone's security loadout here on your home PCs? What do you all recommend?
Oh, yes, when I track that sumbitch down, heads & balls will roll like the mighty Mississippi.
