WHILE BadVista.org is reeling from a spittle-riddled attack from INQ curmudgeon Dr Spinola (He is 92 you know. Ed), they might like to also fear snooping from their sworn enemies Microsoft.

INQ readers visiting BadVista.org were bemused by their browsers warning them of the dangers of a rogue Microsoft program trying to connect to their computer. One of them sent us a screen shot so we can see what was happening.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
