You guys seem to forget, PC's are under much more constant attack than

There was an interesting story on the news the other night about
someone who took a brand new Mac to the site of the winter Olympics.
Within an hour it became infected with a virus. The Russian hackers
have set up in full force.


The paper here had an article that everything was hacked within a couple
minutes of being used. I think CBS had a couple PC's and phones just for
the testing of security and both were attacked for info within minutes of
going online. We need a counter attack program. Follows the links to the
attacking system and loots all values from the heir system.
