You stupid boy
Speshly you warez XP users.
Windows XP has many many way of making contact with Microsoft alot of these are via programs you use every day, i.e IE, media player etc etc there is a lot of 'spyware' or 'security features' imbedded into the operating system, never actually read the EULA thingy but there'll prolly be a clause in there lol.
One thing I did notice and well... wasn't to happy with was upon checking what users existed on my system, there were 2 users present with admin rights in the name of microsoft. Therefore MS (or a hacker who found a way to exploit these users) can gain control of yer PC, well, with ease if yer connected to the net. I deleted these 2 users and began to look at different ways, my puter contacted the outside world without me knowing.
Media player contacts MS everytime it starts/plays a new track, looking for software updates/codecs/and whatever else is programmed into it.
after noticing this trend with alot of programs I gave up and laffed, quite a cunning scheme. Yes albeit they're all legitimate reasons for contacting MS but theres nothing to stop a wellplaced trojan taking over these processes and sending out yer passwords etc etc.
Scary stuff eh?
That is all.
Oh yeah the users are 'Helpassistant' and 'support_386(somet or other)'. It still showed a guest account altho I thought I'd killed that one. I only have 4 accounts now, me/admin/2 for IIS.
