Nasty one too... Something called "Microsoft Windows"... Ever hear of
that one? The tricky bit is that the symptoms and effects appear almost
random:-
1. Miscellaneous bits of hardware may not work when I boot.
2. My machine ran roughly 40% slower than with Linux.
3. Installing software required me to keep on shoving optical discs in my
machine's drive... how weird is that?
4. After spending large amount of money to purchase the machine with which this
malware was shipped, I had to spend even more money buying other weird products
- like Anti-Virus and so on - to stop the first portion of malware from being
corrupted...
5. Running even a minimalist installation requires tens of Gigabytes of disc
space - before any applications are loaded. The disc footprint of this Malware
take up more room than my entire ubuntu Dev Server build...
Word to the wise.... avoid it like the plague
;)
