I remember writing a story about a Philippine newsmagazine website getting porn trackbacks last week. Today, when I checked my e-mail, I got more than 10 trackbacks from porn websites! Now, I have to turn off the trackback option. It was irritating to delete each of them.

It is a stripped-down version of a full-blown Windows XP, but at a lower-cost. Officials said the cost will be about half the current street price of a Windows XP Home Edition.

*&^%$ Gosh! For the nth time, I got hit again by trojans, while spyware continues to find its way onto my computer! Is there any solution to this?

I thought I was going to have a nice and uneventful weekend. But one stupid mistake led to another sleepless night. Okay. In trying to find an “activation code” for Kaspersky AV, I triggered a trojan, which right up to this minute, is causing problems in my PC. My Internet connection has almost slowed to [...]
