Scamware

Scamware (fake security software)
10/20/2009

I recently tried to help a friend rid their computer of one type of "renegade" malware program that downloads onto your computer and generates fake antivirus warnings on your screen. The problem apparently is widespread..."Symantec found 250 varieties of scam security software with legitimate sounding names like Antivirus 2010 and SpywareGuard 2008, and about 43 million attempted downloads in one year but did not know how many of the attempted downloads succeeded, said Weafer...>"In terms of the number of people who potentially have this in their machines, it's tens of millions,"<>."

I have run into good software that is either freeware or trial:

Microsoft Security Essentials

"Moon Bombing"

Does anyone have an explanation why its been 36 years, 10 months, and 3 days since we walked on the moon? Is it politics? technology? politics?

And why has no other country set foot on the moon? Perplexing isn't it? Thought my children might see some real space exploration in their lifetimes, but I have doubts. Will a base finally be established in a mad rush to claim territory and mineral rights? water rights? or maybe save a core population of humans from any impending planetary doom in the future?

1995 Oklahoma Bombing tapes...

Recently released by the FBI but edited so we, the public, can never know what happened before the blast. "....They are blank at points before 9:02 a.m., when a truck bomb carrying a 4,000-pound fertilizer-and-fuel-oil bomb detonated in front of the building" reported Jesse Trentadue, who is an attorney who obtained the recordings through the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA.

Sounds similar to strange circumstances surrounding 9-11 doesn't it?
