Security - December 2006

As an Aussie I hear a lot of people say that the two countries are very similar. However, I don't think it's necessarily true. Australians seem to love their sports and are more easy going whilst Americans tend to think about how many wallets they'd need to reorder. What does everyone think are the differences between the 2 cultures and the 2 countries in general?

I PROMISE I'm not writing malicious script, :-) but I was just running a virus scan on my laptop, and I got to wondering how hackers and other such people can write viruses that don't infect their own computers. I would assume there's sort of a reverse process that would keep their own computers safe that would also be a key in protecting others' computers as well? This seemed so ironic about virus writers not being affected by the scripts they write that I thought I'd ask.

There are always lots of spam mail when I log on to my mail. I delite them before doing anything else. However, don't you think it would be fun to return the spam and be able to write our own nasty comments to the individuals who send spam? Those who mark as "return" or make it sound as though you had sent a business e-mail and they are sending a written response truly upset me. If I open them, they are spam and could have a virus. If I do not open them, they could be responses from business information that I am seeking. Yes, at times, businesses do respond in a mannor that are identical to spam. I would like to get even at times. Is that vengence?

How can I find out if my laptop has some sort of remote tracking device installed on it...or if there is a harware device some where attached to my laptops guts? Only reason I ask is becauses this laptop was in someones possession for several months before I was able to get it back and that somone is not a friend, and i dont know the potential they would go to, as far as spying on me or gathering personal info?

Recently I got a link from a friend that said (And DON'T CLICK THE LINK) "http://LoveNovel%2ETk/ <=== See My Picture So Cute !!! (No Virus)"

My friend clicked it on his computer and he wants help removing whatever it is. I really don't know how to help because I didn't click it, therefore I have no idea what it is.
