Dear god, are you even listening? Nobody is responsible for your personal safety but yourself. Blaming Bill Gates for an account theft is like blaming George Bush for getting mugged. |
Ok, this was just a joke that was what the "lol" was for, sorry i even said it. I forgot only a certain amount of peopel on this form can say something like that and people find it funny.
No he's not still using the system, he is using his 360 to play the game, yet he hasn't even got his old account back. And he lost his recovery CDs, his PC is old, he's just hasn't recived them yet from HP, they are on back order. But he's not worried about it anymore cause he likes the 360 better now.
All i was trying to say, is that there had to be a point in time where someone didn't know realplayer or whatever the program may be, was vulnerable untill it was too late. Untill it was already exploited and the programs where spread out. and to think someone wasn't compromised during that brief moment in time is just wrong.
In that link you gave us about the realplayer risk, they said they became "aware" of it on 10-18, and they released a patch on 10-23. Woot, that's real quick and real nice of them, but who's to say that the problem hasn't been out since 9-15? and then there were them 5 days of them working on the problem. Now if someone was infect those 5 days, then are they stupid cause they didn't know to download a patch that didnt' exsist until the 23rd?
This is my point, hackers are working 24/7 to exploit everything and the ppl who make the patches probley won't find it until "crap hits the fan" days later. That is my whole point. But no I must be wrong right? I'm sure someone will come up with some other excuse and what not. But that dosn't mean that there is always a certian amount of time that even windows update can not protect ur computer from what is out there UNTIL someone knows it's out there.
