Hey Mr. Cook.... don't know if you remember me ? Probably not and I
don't know how I got on this mailing list, but that's okay - I think
I'll stay. We did have some back to back emails awhile back and I
think you had the wrong impression of me. Number one - I have a Data
Processor Certificate 1970. Number two I have "discovery" in the
signature based heuristics commercial software removers as the malware
RASautodial entrants. NONE have I ever seen remove those and having
Programmers in my family including and an retired Air Force agent -
well they declined to set up a distributable removal utility and I
passed them onto the companies. My comment was I believe you thought I
was just an average user.

But.... here is a question I hope if you have the time you could
possibly make some comments on as I am well aware of your software
authorship product. Do you find the comments at this web as basically
true - meaning using the DOS to do what is said ? (create undetectable
malware - I know, ILLEGAL - but is a proof of concept in context
writing with the warnings posted).

Web: http://hacksafe.com.au/blog/2007/01/...-3-easy-steps/

I am on Google Groups and really do not want a bunch of vulnerable
open source reader software on my 'puter - so forgive the format post
or recommend a free reader and thank you very, very much for your time
if you have it to spare.

I am Gerald and you are Dustin.... fine with me.

SORRY.... forgot to add that my "research" is about disecting and
detecting rogue applications that may attempt to insert a Bat batch
malware executable under the guise of a "good guy" distributed removal
utility emulating in the worst way imaginable as one like your own.
Thank you in advance for any comments.

Hi Gerald, Yes I remember you.

Well, sadly, it's that easy yes to modify and/or create something that
won't be scanned, atleast not for the time being. It's an old war.
Antivirus/antimalware is always going to be retroactive in nature; It's
just not possible for us to determine good software from bad at an
automatic level that would do any good.

I'm a fan of Xnews myself; it's based on the old win3.x program
NewsXpress.
