Moderators hazelnut Posted August 6, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 6, 2012 I know when people say 'have a read of this' quite often you just give it a miss. This read here is fascinating, the botnet lasted 5 years and was only taken down last month. How they did it was great. http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/04/grum-inside-the-takedown-of-one-of-the-worlds-biggest-spam-networks/ Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Super Fast Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Great article, Hazel! But it leads me to think that future botnets may be near impossible to stop without some kind of password protected system areas set as default for all computer users... To thwart all malware/virus attempts to change or modify a system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
