Blithering morons

It's 1.24am and I'm driving up the coast with a car full of kids later this morning. So I'm in a particularly cranky mood right now.

That is just the frame of mind to be in when confronted with garbage like this.

In Googling this wonderful product that detects malware on Macs, I stumbled on the Download.com review. This is what the reviewer has to say about Scan and Repair Utilities 2007,

The Description Box tempts you with information about each problem. However, the only information we found listed for every problem was: "This threat is currently being researched for better identification.

You can't repair a single problem. If you want to find out how well this program works in the repair department, you must register. Further, using Live Update crashed the program for our testers."

So what did this guy rate a program that does absolutely nothing?

Three out of five.

Let's get this right, the program does nothing and crashes when you try to update it, yet you still give it a 60% approval rating?

What a blithering moron, I bet he struggles with the concept of phishing.

Oh no! My Mac has a Windows Trojan!

In doing some further research on the Skype spam I thought I'd run the online test on my Mac.

Sure enough, it operates exactly the same way in Safari as it does on a Windows Box.

According to this wonderful piece of software, my iMac is infected with the following malware.

• Backdoor:Win32/NT Root
• Backdoor: Win32/Sivuxa
• Trojan.Caijing

Funny enough, that's exactly what my Windows machine has according to this marvellous utility.

Darn it! I knew I should have never put my precious Mac on the network with those horrid, low class Windows boxes. Now it's caught their horrible disease.

The scary thing with this is some people will shell out the 19.95 this rubbish asks for to clean their Macs.
