Comment: LiveCD for Windows virus/malware removal (Score -1) 58

by ClickWir (#32858074) Attached to: REMnux, the Malware Analysis Linux OS

I can't tell you how many people I know are looking for a LiveCD/DVD that runs Linux (Ubuntu would be preferred just for ease and familiarity for these people that work on Windows machines all day) and has a GOOD antivirus program along with a GOOD or maybe a few anti-malware programs that will scan the local Windows hard drive. Sure, some LiveCD's are out there but it would be great if you could update them on the fly. I know it wouldn't save to the CD, but just updating it in a RAMdisk would be great. Having to update it each time would be fine.

Being able to walk over to an infected machine, boot from a CD/DVD to an Ubuntu desktop and run up to date cleaning utilities from there would be so incredibly helpful.

I've seen people try, but so far all the attempts I've seen... kind of suck.

This is unfortunate. For so many years, I've told people not to buy anything that is "Draft" or "Pre"-N because it's not official and might change. So many products still say "Draft" or "Pre" on them that people are still not buying them because there's no official "FINAL RELEASE-N" that they see.

They may never upgrade to -N. They might just wait for whatever is next.

No, I don't feel bad for telling them that for years. If the mfgr's want to make Beta products for consumers, fine, but I'm not going to recommend them to clients. It is sad that there is a lack of communication (and back stock) of the Draft-N products that hundreds (that I've told) of people will not buy -N.

"they've told me that ANY data--even one kilobyte--is billed as 1MB. The damage is done."

It's bullshit like this that keeps me from getting one. They really need to stop nickel and dimeing people with data plans. They really are way over priced. I won't get one, I know what it costs to bring data to a user and they charge way too much for it.

F you comcast. I pay for service, not dis-service. You can give me a faster cap, no total download limit, treat all traffic the neutrally and none of this 'throttling because you are using it' crap, for less money. Other ISP's can, time for you to cut off the top... and I mean your management.

No outrage here. I'm looking forward to the game. Looks like it depicts real life situations where sometimes people do bad things. Video games aren't always about painting a pretty picture of how the good guys always get there before the bad guys do anything. Why not try the other side of it and see how horrible of a person you could be?

Oh, I get it!! "The BEACH goes on", huh, SONNY??

Working...
