![]() Tim also points out that: Minorities (old internet land) always seem to have a great sense of community. So why bother for the greater good of mankind? Those geeks now realise that they never got any appreciation for their efforts. There’s just so many people out there who have access to the internet and now have a voice! I think the problem may be (simplistically) two fold Guy thanks them all for taking the trouble to write in. These are the readers own views, I am pretty certain that they don’t have any connection with the products that they recommend. ![]() All were positive and each adds another brick to the argument that internet altruism is not dead. This ezine attracted many more responses than usual. ![]() See here for this and other back-numbers. This is an update on my previous ezine 164. If you are interested in virus attack stats you may find this link as interesting as I did. Incidentally, regarding viruses, I had a lucky break by choosing a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 for my own desktop. You may remember that the virus attack, which I was asked to fix, was on a 32-bit XP machine. More secure, less susceptible to virus attacks.Now I realize that most people cannot afford the money and hassle of upgrading every time Microsoft produces a new operating system, my point is that if the decision to stick or upgrade is close, then a modern system is much more resistant to virus attack. Guy’s Reasons to Upgrade a Computer (Revamped) When the truth is that modern viruses, like all ‘good’ parasites, don’t destroy their hosts, they just become more cunning and better at infecting other victims. ![]() My revelation has been that I have been complacent I thought though that the threat of viruses had largely been beaten off.

They reinforced my suggestion that viruses are now posing different threats, in particular, how their fiendish creators not only counteract anti-virus software, but also exploit attempts to control them for their own nefarious purposes. Last week I was delighted to get so many letters from readers who were battle-hardened generals in the fight against viruses. Not only are those people who had a helpful personality in 1999, still altruistic today, but also it seems that a good proportion of the next generation has inherited this supportive trait from their parents. I should have realized that while the internet has evolved during the last 10 years, people are still fundamentally the same. Incidentally, the postbag reshaped my criteria for choosing an operating system. What the readers’ numerous helpful comments did was to reaffirm that altruism is still very much alive on the internet. The positive sentiments to my last Ezine overwhelmed me. Readers’ Responses Show that Altruism is Still Alive As such, rootkits are considered to be among the most dangerous malware attacks as since cybercriminals use them to illegal access remote systems and, in turn, undertake malicious operations, such as stealing critical and confidential data.Guy’s Ezine 164 Internet Altruism is Alive and Kicking – But so are Those Pesky Viruses Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.Ī rootkit is a software program that is designed to a user with an administrator access to a database or computer without detection.
