Imagine if you will that you chip your kid, and they will not divulge their whereabouts because they ran away and do not want to be contacted by you!

You could just use ClamWin on the Windows computers. I put it on all my Windows machines (2) and all my clients machines. You'll notice an incredible speed boost, because Symantec and McAfee tend to be resource hogs, and you can set it up to email you if it gets infected. You can also set it up to run regularly scheduled scans. It's really a beautiful piece of software, and the cost is FREE!
Microsoft Warns of Copycat Conficker Worm 86
nk497 writes "Microsoft is warning that malware writers have adapted a four-year-old virus to use features of Conficker to take advantage of Windows flaws. Other similarities between the adapted Neeris worm and Conficker are that it downloads a copy of the worm from the attacking machine using HTTP, spreads via autorun, and uses a driver to patch the TCP/IP layer of the system. It even saw a traffic jump around the first of April, when the Conficker hype peaked. But the Microsoft researchers suggested Conficker may have copied Neeris, or that they're copying each other: 'It is possible that these miscreants somehow collaborate or at least are aware of each other's "products."'"
How HP Could Turn a Novelty Into a Revolution 353
RobotsDinner writes "HP's TouchSmart desktop is cool, but a blogger suggests it could be the beginning of a revolution if HP were to finally make the move of ditching Windows and building a Linux distro around the TouchSmart UI. 'Hello, HP. The UI of your latest TouchSmart computer says something about you. You may not have recognized your own weaving-in of meaning, but it comes across quite clearly if one reads just right: You want out. You want to escape the world of Windows to which Microsoft has sequestered you for the better part of two decades. Ah, but you can. No longer does Bill Gates stand guard outside your cell ... It's time to ditch Windows and build a Linux distro around the TouchSmart UI ... Your captivity of innovation under Microsoft is over. You're free. Free to invent, as you might put it.'"
