Hackers never sleep!

[E.T.]

Those bad boys that author viruses wasted little time in creating a malicious program that can disable Microsoft's new anti-spyware app.

Trojan "Bankash-A" as referred to by antivirus experts is the first software to attack Windows AntiSpyware, which is still in beta! [Good Grief, Im starting to feel sorry for MS now].

This newly created virus works hard to steal passwords and online banking details from Windows users. The app targets users of U.K. online banks such as Barclays, Cahoot, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Nationwide, NatWest and Smile.
["Bankash" attacks banking customers and installs a file called ASH.DLL onto a victim's hard drive.].

I still have hope that MS & other antispyware software manufactures will resolve, or at least minimize the current effect that malware has on home PC users. Malware continues to be #1complaint of domestic PC users.

Death penalty for hackers anyone?

I concur, These idiots are going to be the death of the internet...literally! It will get to the point that we as common internet users will be spending more time downloading updates and even more programs than we have today, scanning our PCs and clearing spyware out so much it just won't be worth it anymore!?!

Picture This:

"Hey Dear, I just bought us and the kids a brand new Dell Dimension P4 with Windows Xp, 160 gig drive, DVD burner, 17 inch flat screen bla,bla,bla!"
"Hey dad can we get the internet again? Sorry son, I just dropped $5000 on this PC, It's just not worth it anymore, look what happened to our last PC! Besides, I don't really have the time to download, buy, install, and update all the 25 different spyware, adware, virus scanners, firewalls and popup blockers.....it's just not worth the risk!

This just might happen one day!
