digg

With a pepsi challenge you need a pepsi advert. Just do not hire the spice girls or take that.

Oh Noes. Nice write up. Seeing now 180 solutions have dropped the lawsuit.

Awsome Vital rules me

Nice find PG!!!

He says lots of text is scary. I skimmed it only 'cause there was so much text, and I didn't want to waste time. Oh the irony. You'd think they'd follow their own advice and be terse.

I can't even read this... wtf

Whoever wrote this is probably a high school student or on crack... Dude, do us all a favor and take your Ritalin.

+lame

The excessive use of "LOLS" in screenshots has become cliche. Learn to write. Meanwhile, kudos to Zone Labs for beefing up their warnings.

why dont they just have it say "%program.exe% located in c:%directory%" is recording YOU uploading it to 3RD PARTY.

[x]remember this choice
BLOCK [YES] [NO]

What a waste of reading time to make a one sentence point. Not as funny as the author thinks he is. And WTF is with the LOLS? What are we, nine years-old?

stupid article LOLS

stupid. no digg.

paperghost has to have some fun/enlightenment when laying the smack down on spyware/adware :P you should read his other guides/news/blog stuff (lol).

Something about stream of consciousness tech articles just rub me the wrong way. I got about two thirds of the way through and just couldn't read it anymore.

Did I ever tell you about a time I was commenting on digg and my dog barked and it scared? Well, he did, and I was scared.

The article barely follows a train of thought....

pepsi sucks

I am glad others had problems reading that. I appreciate the idea behind the article, but the writing just did not make any sense.

i'm a coca'cola guy myself

I made it past the "LOLS", but had to close the window the first time he used the phrase "oh noes".

Ugh

Soo... Where is the Pepsi? The reference to it was obvioulsy included by a freaking moron.

the pepsi refrence is there because there's a comparison going on, hence, pepsi challenge :

Nice read.
But where's the Pepsi?

If you really want some, I can buy you a bottle ;)

you can use "internet slang" as wikipedia calls it in forums or comments but in a published article it looks retarded. really lame article.

...whoops, the internet standards police! lock up your daughters :P

i dont see the problem with it. "published article"? its a BLOG.

It would be interesting if the auther wasn't such a prick.

both awesome and hilarious. it's like the sticker says, guys... if the music is too loud, you're definitely too old. sorry that you all have a problem with using internet buzzwords on the internet. (whoddathunkit?) Maybe you should go back to using AOL and stop complaining to people who don't mind humorous articles?

Author: Lay off the weed, man.

The whole LOL thing has to die. I can't stand its ubiquity, especially since people are rarely laughing out loud. The incessant misuse of it is worse. Your typical IM conversation:

person1: OMFG my mother is yelling at me LOL
person2: lol oh noes
person1: lol shes a bitch lol
person2: rotfl i have to go to a funeral today lol
person1: omg i thot you're grandmother wuz already dead lol
person2: ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
person1: she smelled teh funny omg
person2: lollers
person1: g2g
person2: ok lol bye
person1: kthxbi

...which then leads to the epidemic of illiterate Digg headlines, descriptions, and punctuation. Sad.

You need a roffleoptomy

I thought it was funny in a Jeffk sort of way.

O RLY?

YA RLY LOLS

Let's all go leave feedback for 180solutions and let them know what we think about their spyware.
They can act all innocent, but we know better. Who do you trust more, a shady spyware company or zonealarm?

Leave feedback for 180solutions and tell them to go screw off.

i think it's funny that this article is causing such a controversy.


"roffleoptomy"
^^ hehh ;)

lame

Regarding the "if the music is too loud, you're too old" reference above, in this case if the music is too stupid, maybe you're too smart.

"Regarding the "if the music is too loud, you're too old" reference above, in this case if the music is too stupid, maybe you're too smart."

er, yes.
that makes absolutely no sense to me.

"Regarding the "if the music is too loud, you're too old" reference above, in this case if the music is too stupid, maybe you're too smart."

...and im too smart, that must make you stupid. shakespeare said it best...omgwtfbbq.

nVidia Firewall beats the crap out of ZA, no digg.

I couldn't read the article, did a sixth-grader write it?

"Oh noes" should be officially blacklisted.

oh noes rules. if you cant read it, i have a speak n spell somewhere im not using! seriously, humour bypass-r-us in this place. its gettin as bad as /.

"'Oh noes' should be officially blacklisted."

RLY?

I'm switching more and more people to Linux all the time, away from Windows and the closed source 3rd party software and they love it. IMO Zone Alarm is nothing compared to the easy and free frontends to iptables like Firestarter and Guarddog, among others. No popups, no 'click here to purchase the full version' *****. Thank god for Linux.

This guy should really learn how to write.

Horrible HORRIBLE writing style... *shudders*

man alot of people need to lighten up! man.

"man alot of people need to lighten up! man."

heh aint that the truth. considering hes such a "horrible writer" he certainly gets a lot of press mileage and good luck to him. im sick of drab deadly dull security sites that read like a shopping list of unmemorable infection names. windfbot....SDBot-FX....V.2bgs-BotZZZZzzzzzzzzz....
