you got GoogleUpdate as ..
- startup trigger
- firefox addon (!!)
- scheduled task
And it's not Google alone, big players are the worst malware distributors as part of they _own_ products
Stallman was ALWAYS right.
- username223 12y agoAh, GoogleUpdate... Trying out Chrome gave me the unfortunate opportunity to learn about launchctl(1), Apple's version of cron(8). I haven't used Apple software on Windows in awhile, or vice versa, but I bet both are similarly awful. I didn't know about the Firefox addon, but that's a clever little extra bit of evil.
