my sister recieved a .exe file from one of her friends, however they were acctually a hacker pretending to be her friend, and unfortunatly she opend the file, i now have a back door hacker with access to my PC 
im currently attempting to resolve the problem, this message is being typed on a spare computer and net connection, so the hacker wont find this
be carfull of friends sending .exe files, especially ones called somthing along the lines of 'blair bitch project.exe'
probably the best way of getting rid of it is to ask your ISP to change your address and format your HDD, but this is a little drastic and im first seeing if i can do anything else about it, especially if Sasami can find anything |

I've heard this many times before, but I guess it's good to keep it going. Thanks for taking the time to write this message.

Killing a santa smokie is bad luck, people have been known to lose many job levels when its ghost comes back to loot them. What do I recommend? Don't let it steal from you.

I hate those people... They can use a program that does some hacking FOR them and they call themselves "l33t h4x0rz".
more like "uB3r L4m3rz"
The only good hackers (and the only hackers there should be) are the ones working for the CIA

whoo hoo!
the problem is completly sorted, i used a virus checker and found 'TRJN.EXE'
(rather a stupid name if you ask me) so i deleted it, only then i had a problem with windows keep trying to run it, so a friend of mine fiddled about with windows a bit and maneged to find a second file which was avoiding being deleted and kept trying to get windows to call the trojan, deleted that file and all was well 
advise: get a GOOD virus scanner, there usfull |

hey, the CIA isnt the only secret government agencey thingy, what about the english ones for a start?
and there are plenty of good hackers that dont work for anyone (i like the term 'white hackers' )
as long as there good... its good

I cant help but laugh...
Giving the government that much credit...
And yeah, Norton is the best. I've lost count of the number of times it's saved me.

sorry to hear about the trojan makoto. i remember my early moments on the internet and receiving an .exe from my ex. it was supposed to be a picture, so i assumed it was a exectuable rar file. ended up being a back door orifice trojan and CIH virus. good thing i got it out before the 26th. more careful nowadays. and i think the sender wasn't my ex, but her bf at the time who didn't like me. such drama.

hehe.. I think Sasami would make a good hacker
CIA? I would say INS.. or secret Service.. or even FBI...
then of course you get some out of U.S. hackers

I think that anyone can hack. It just depends on who has the time and determination to learn the loopholes.

I cant help but laugh when I see people talkig about all these three-letter government agencies when the sneakiest and by-far most intusive one of them all is the IRS.
As for hacking, there are plenty of resources both online and in the written word, and since software and OSes are getting more and more complex (and seemingly worse and worse made), more loopholes arise to be found and exploited, which is annoying becasue those problems are usually used against you before you can find them and find some kind of counteragent. (blah blah blah blah...)
*sigh*
I hate Windows. Every operating system since the days of the Vic 20 have sucked.
I don't know why, either...
I thought all the secret service did was follow the president around (in front) and jump in front of bullets... Not much of a job if you ask me...
