| Quote: | The Revolution is now
Sometimes, you're given a choice. Red pill, blue pill.
Which is it to be?
I think we all know the answer to that one, because slow-motion Kung Fu, double gun action and flying through the sky at supersonic speed is pretty cool by anyone's estimation.
However, sometimes you reach a stage in your life where even the illusion of that choice is no longer an option. Sometimes, you have to step through the door of light and see what's on the other side. And if you thought the world of Spyware, Adware and Malware have had a rough time from me so far - man, you ain't seen nothing yet.
What am I talking about? I'll tell you.
With immediate effect, I am now a full-time Malware destroying bloodbath, 24/7, anywhere, anyplace, anytime. After the work done in exposing the BitTorrent installs and the current "fun" in IM land, FaceTime has given me the chance to take back the web - and believe me when I say I don't just mean using Firefox. Previously, there was a very limited amount of time I could spend kicking rogue installer butt. No longer.
I now have an almost unlimited amount of time to jack in and hunt the lowest common denominators of the internet and make them pay. There is offically nowhere for them to run, hide or beg for mercy. If you're in the system - I'll flush you out and mark you for deletion.
I swear to God, if I were a Malware creator, or a rogue affiliate, or some company full of shady deals and even shadier ethics -
I'd just give up, go home, board up the windows, sell the PC and hide under the bed.
The great internet shakedown has begun, and to coin a phrase, it's clobberin' time. |
