Yea but who would want to watch you ??

I'm all for any type of trojan that'll let me spy on some chick... especially if the PC is in her room!

These came from when the original Back Orifice came out (97/98 IIRC).

Haha those pics were funny..

Some interesting info but if someone was remotely viewing on your computer what would stop you from using external programs for logging all connected ip addresses and going and tracing down the users IP address and suing them.. :dunno:


Daaamn if we have some U.S. people around... someone order a international beastie boys cd and let themselves get infected with the virus on the CD. Then go and sue them.. that would be one eaasy lawsuit.
