Why can't Spyware just spoof the "Company Name"? This process depends on spyware companies accurately reporting the author-company.

A friend's system was owned recently. It was so bad that the firewall settings were altered and there was a keystroke logger running. The problem with not reinstalling windows is that you can't truly be sure of all the places where the virus may be deposited. I'm not a windows expert but it seems to me that a virus of sufficient complexity could be hidden such that it only becomes active again on a certain date.People really need to practice safe computing. If I see even one virus on a system my inclination is to do a clean reinstall.

No, I read it. I read every word of it. He said WITHOUT messing with wine. If he doesn't want to do that (which I could have told him how to do in minutes, not hours) then using alternative software and changing developers minds about which operating systems they will support is really the only other option when using Linux.

... and run as a limited user (and in Vista, leave UAC enabled). Although running naked through fields instead of using your PC will work just as well.

"Eventually they get fed up and get rights one way or another."A switch to LInux won't relieve their frustration. And if they "get rights" under Linux by running as root, they become much more vulnerable.For most users, the single biggest security threat is between their ears.
