Your opinion is based upon your vast expertise in the subject, is it,
****?

Oh, just for the record; as you've had a few days to sour over it...

Aardvark for the record didn't give you up. He simply told me I should be
looking someplace else. He provided no actual information on you.

Apologies to aardvark for allowing others to think he'd gave you up, but
it was funny to see your reaction.

I do have your info, Aardvark has more ethics than you credit him for, he
didn't provide it.

Second, I'm not a cyber criminal; I don't take peoples identities and I'm
not out carding anybody. Read the article slowly.

LOL! You *are* a ****ing idiot.

Btw,

I do have friends in antivirus companies; It's far from impossible for me
to know all kinds of background things. Yes, I know atleast 2 companies
(No, I won't give you names, hahahaha.) which did examine malwarebytes
and found nothing wrong with it. I know of a well documented 3rd company
who not only disassembled the software, but they even stole the ****ing
database it uses too. They didn't find anything malicious either, just a
goldpot of useful definitions they copied.

If you can disprove my claim, do so.

In the states, you can get it at your local best buy store. In a nice
box. it'll be outdated of course, but that's what the update button is
for. I don't know if they have outside US distribution in box format yet
or not.

That's funny as hell. Rootkit is a unix OS term, not a native "windows
play OS" term.

Yes, it does.. every OS does have that.

Why, BD.. perhaps you aren't quite as dumb as I had assumed. ;p

I would have been happy if you hadn't told him that :-)

No apologies needed.

Heh- wasn't it just?

Of course I didn't. I no longer had the information.

A simple and wholly believable statement.

If it can be obtained over there, odds are it's up for grabs over here
somewhere.

Your opinion about technical matters isn't worth the bytes needed to
print it. Stick to skinny boats.

So if you had this CD/DVD from MalwareBytes, how would you -- *you* --
know if there was anything untoward about it?

Who could say that the shipping clerk at MalwareBytes doesn't alert
the programmers to ship *you* a special disk that makes *your*
computer go POOF in a huge cloud of gray smoke? Just to get even for
all your slimy comments toward them, you understand.

Let's face it: you have a slimy agenda towards MalwareBytes because
they kicked you out of their forum. You're a disruptive slimeball.

Ah! Thank you Dustin. :-)

Oh, wait.

I've looked here and don't see it:

Have I searched incorrectly? Anyone?
