I've gotten this virus a couple of times. Except I don't have a webcam, so that surveillance screen it was supposed to show was just a blank black box. As I recall it was quite easy to get rid of, I don't have much experience with computers so I just went to safe mode and ran this antivirus which zapped it.

"See, Avast can't stop that FBI virus. But we can. Buy the premium edition of Norton for only $199.99 USD a month." You know what's scary? this has probably happened before. There's a reason we don't pay firefighters per fire extinguished!

 Re: The Lounge
I can see that argument for Antivirus programs but it applies to very little else. But hey it's not cool to obey the law and programmers don't need money anyway

 Re: The Lounge
ITT: a person renowned far and wide for being an enormous internet thread arsonist "SHUTS DOWN" someone for using the word autism in a pejorative context
and then everyone agrees with him
when did the lounge become about moral superiority and deliberately throwing metaphorical flaming bags of feces at each other?

Just because someone is frequently annoying doesn't mean they can dispense pearls of wisdom and righteousness every once in a while! If someone does something emphatically wrong (like using a word that describes a large group of inoffensive, innocent people who are perfectly able to function in society and don't particularly need medical treatment) as an insult, they need to be taught otherwise. There's a little good in everyone! Just some people are really, really good at hiding it

I always found it to be one of the more weird cliches.
