Username:    ghostrider01    Date Posted:    2007-10-16 13:39:13    Comment: alex, sometimes people who are managing the website don't even know that they spread the malware. The malware code is just inserted into their websites. Some of such persons can hide. Otherwise, thay create new viruses everyday and they spread in different ways, so it would be physically very hard to catch and arrest all those persons. Username:    jan    Date Posted:    2007-11-19 07:05:27    Comment: hi, i got this ultimate defender too but I UNINSTALLED IT AND ITS GONE NOW.
