I was talking from a non-computer-related perspective 
Gravity understood it XD
but now apply that to your personal information, with the new form of control that's being found in windows, you tell me the dangers there.
if you wanna say there is no danger, then go build a house next to an active volcano and see how long you live
keep in mind MS thinks you're only using their stuff and doesn't consider stuff like Comodo.
XP is still very much suppported when you look at the standards there
I'm actually glad they stopped the updates to a point...
and you wanna know why you havn't had a problem with Win7 security?
do you know why MS pulled back the market control features on the XBox One??
MS: "People aren't ready for them" (meaning they will put these features to use in the future)
look, if you want to continue using Win7 and putting your personal life at a potential risk to the public, go for it.
just keep in mind, I'm not for that type of monstrous control and will NEVER support it.
if you want my support, move back to freedom and leave MS in that concealed hole they're digging.
get WinXP x64 or get Linux, with those, you give yourself more freedom and personal security.
rather than limiting yourself to a not so configurable environment.
when it comes to tweaks and customization, Linux can easily do what you have to jump hoops to do in XP, and good luck with 7 and up as you're constrained and forced to use the environment they give you, along with them watching everything you do.
if you want your freedom and safety, don't listen to a corrupt company like MS.
I may not have the knowledge to verify that XP is ENTIRELY safe, as I can say linux is safer (to a point).
but I can verify that XP x64 is safer than other XP installations and doesn't have the MS-control implementations that've been found in 7 and up. (Vista is only questionable)
must I mention I'm a Windows hacker to know this. :/
(relax, I'm white-hat, not gonna hurt anyone)
^ black-hatters make me sick, though they do provide better information as they ACTUALLY look into the stuff.
one of my black-hat friends (online) has a friend who disabled a Win8 RAT on one of his schools compys using Python and surprized his computer teacher.
I'm trying to get info on it, but my friend hasn't been able to get in contact with him...
I was wanting to take control of the MS RAT only to post a dialog warning everyone how unsafe they are with that OS.
but I can't do that, I'll possibly get jailed for it.
one of my local friends knew about black hat software when it was just coming out (which the initial intent there was to help people) and they were jailed for breach of privacy on local networks.
(the same thing can be applied to me if I was to take my action)
it's just like our corrupt gov't to jail someone for helping people 9_9
so yea, the absolute BEST I can possibly do is warn everyone that the RAT exists in newer Windows OS's and hope they're smart enough to move away from it.
if you don't know what a RAT is:
it stands for either of "Remote Administration Tool" or "Remote Access Trojan".
what a RAT does is allow a host to take control of a user's computer and even disable the user's input.
normally the infection would be done using a catalyst (an EXE disguised as an installer or patched with the RAT client)
x86 builds of WinXP (which again I state are not safe) also have their own RAT known as csrss.exe
I believe this was patched and fixed in XP x64.
XP64 also removes most unsafe ActiveX controls and improves stand-alone network security (same implementations as 7 I believe)
Aero (from 7) can most likely be ported over XP wih wrappers and extended libraries.
(along with version control to extend the support wrongfully blocked by MS)
yes, this means most of the stuff that now works with 7 should work near flawlessly with XP.
I just wish someone would actually get off their lazy butts and actually port it.
(I can't as I can't program in C++, and as everyone knows, have UMC/UGC/UGE to deal with)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like he needed physical access to the computer first before he could hack it.Gravity understood it XD
