Flypaper? 2005-09-05
Anonymous (1 replies)


Doesn't Windows seem like it's becoming more and more like flypaper for spyware and virus? whoever

is making this stuff is getting much better at

making it stick like gum and harder to detect.

Honestly I think there is going to come a point

soon when the majority of users are going to say

enough and look at alternative operating systems that aren't sticky pads for this crap.
