throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
LOL that's amazing, but tbh I was getting angry at the TV this morning when the guy from Click who is an "expert" apparently told people to stop it happening they should have AV software, Windows Updates and last but not least Windows Firewall lol I was laughing my head off. Somehow those three things will not stop them completely as he stated, just slow them down. They want in, they will find a way. Plus those three alone will not stop the stupidity of 99% of users out there who ain't got a clue what they are doing and will click everything they see![]()
Indeed education is the key, i think we should all use TheAnimus's so you've turned your PC into a bot education ray for the owners

the bit that struck me about that article was this :
"If this exercise had been done with criminal intent it would be breaking the law."
uhhhh what now? they may not have had criminal intent but when they did the DDoS and the spam attacks they were using other peoples PC's without their permission which I am pretty sure is a breech of the computer misuse act. I am also confused as to when this concept of 'intent' being the deciding factor in weather something is illegal or not, sure it may be a mitigating factor but how can just saying 'oh we intended nothing bad, so therefore the law does not apply' make it acceptable.
oh yeah... of course this is a legacy of Blair and all of his criminal actions and cover up's which are all ok because he had no 'criminal intent'.
