Spyware Warrior

rainrunner87 · Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2004 2:42 pm Post subject: Um...Hi

Hey everyone, I'm Elliott.
Well, I'm a junior in high school, and I'm pretty good with spyware and such, though certainly not as good as any of you veterans. I'm good with computers on general principles (use linux at my mom's house, haven't converted my dad yet). I'm a quick learner, and I've made it my goal to know all the in's and out's of spyware defense by the end of the school year. Maybe it's unrealistic, but like that quote by Les Brown, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you'll land among the stars." So, any general guidance along that path would be muchly appreciated.

(by the way, I'm obsessive-compulsive about my grammar, so if you catch me with a grammar mistake, I'll PM you a virtual cookie Wink

)

I've got all types, but the default is chocolate chip.
