.......................................................................................................


WARNING!
YOUR'RE IN DANGER!
YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH SPYWARE!

ALL YOU DO WITH COMPUTER IS STORED FOREVER IN YOUR HARD DISK.
WHEN YOU VISIT SITES, SEND EMAILS.. ALL YOUR ACTIONS ARE LOGGED,. AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THEM WITH STANDARD TOOLS.
YOUR DATA IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR FORENSICS. AND IN SOME CASES

FOR YOUR BOSS, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR WIFE, YOUR CHILDREN.
Every site you or somebody or even something, like spyware, opened in your browsers,
with all the images, and all the downloaded and maybe later removed movies or mp3 songs -
