McAfee

April 26th, 2010

Recently McAfee released an update that crippled many Windows XP machines running SP3.  The update caused svchost.exe to be flagged as a virus.  I am just in shock that such a large company didn’t do thorough enough testing to stop this from happening.

I’m glad I stayed away from McAfee’s products.

Russians

April 15th, 2010

It seems that my site has popped up on the radar for Russian spam bots.  I have been getting several “comments” posted on my site for a variety of different sexual enhancement pills and other pharmaceuticals.

The spam is coming from many different IPs but one email address is used most often: kuchkonaru@gmail.com.

Damn Russians.
