Hi David,

I ran the vulnerability scanning as you suggested and everything
checks out ok except JAVA applications. The scan indicates that I
have 4 versions of JAVA on my system:
- Version 6.0.70.6 (the latest according to their web site and it
scans OK).
- Version 6.0.60.6 (recommends to remove via Add/Remove)
- Version 6.0.50.13 (recommends to remove)
- Version 6.0.30.5 (recommend to remove)

Before removing those via Add/Remove, I wanted to check with you on a
couple of things. Might there be programs on my system that require
the older versions to run -or- is the newest version compatible with
programs using previous versions.

I wonder why the JAVA update does not remove the older versions?

I will await your reply prior to removing the older versions.

Thanks
Charliec

I've spoken to you on the phone at your home and at your helpdesk. I
still have all of the contact information. I saved it in the event I'd
need to make a call or two again.

If MBAM's resident protection module is running, downloading and
installing Antivirus2008 will not be possible. I don't know why your even
trying to compare your stolen script to a real program. BugHunter 0wned
you, and MBAM well, it's years beyond you.

That damage you keep going on about isn't damage at all, it's a policy
key setting and we DO remove them.

Ok you dumbass I will spell it out for you. Go here
http://www.advancedprivacyguard.com/ and click on the download link, your
antivirus should detect it Avast does. For testing purposes disable your
antivirus and download the file. MBAM resident detection does not block it.
Click install. MBAM Resident protection does not block it. Run a scan using
MBAM it detects and removes it. Your boss Bruce said in an interview on
Besttechie a few weeks ago that everything MBAM detects during its scans are
also blocked when using the paid version with real-time protection. Now stop
trying to portray me as a liar and fix your product. Below is the log file

In what context would that be illegal? Would it be illegal for a shop owner
to check through their reciepts on an evening??

The guy is trying to identify me for the sole purpose to try and exploit me
on the NG's. Knowing him and his background he will probably steal my credit
card info.

Your speculation does not make it illegal.

Your speculation does not name it illegal unless the information is used
illegally. If you provided the info it's theirs to see and use for the
transaction, until they do something else with it there is nothing
illegal about viewing it.

According to the log you posted, we do get it, and clean it up...

Now, to clear something up. MBAM isn't going to catch a file still being
downloaded. we don't hook the same ways as AVAST does. Once the file is
downloaded, with resident protection enabled, it shouldn't be allowed to
execute.
