Vamman writes "If you've been following the drama surrounding the free release of MechWarrior4, then you're probably aware that the initial announcement, made last summer, was a bit premature. Now, nearly a year since that announcement was made, MekTek Studios has announced that Microsoft Legal has given clearance for the free release of Mechwarrior4. This move by Microsoft Games couldn't come at a better time for the community, as the owners of MechWarrior are attempting a reboot of the franchise."

How low can you go?

Dealing with the guilt of letting my clients hang, I am now being hit with my coworkers guilting me back into 'work'... what would you do?"

Working with residential users on a regular basis, I have come to repeat: "There is no One Program that rule all malware (and I explain malware includes all the crapware since They figured out profit was to be made online). Safe surfing habits are the best defense against Malware." Soapbox aside, since Sony released rootkits into the wild, I have had more success with backing up data and performing the elegant Nuke and Pave. Format and reinstall. Without doing that, I have very little confidence in any of the existing spyware/adware/virus detection/removal programs available being able to 'clean' a pc. That said, when did Anti-Malware become a million (or billion) dollar industry??? How is it anyone's best interest to 'cure' the internet of hostility. It is so profitable for both white and black hats. Frustrating to say the least.
