A few questions:
- Wouldn't ctrl+alt+del on a windows box show the program running, and let you shut it down? If not, why not?
- Wouldn't your firewall notify you if this program wanted to call out? (Everyone should have a firewall, IMHO, yes, even if you're on dialup; WinME 4.90.300 for instance tries to call out occasionally, regardless of what options the user sets about updating everything manually; that's the version pre-installed on my box; no, I don't know if any patches for that have been released).
- If no to both of the above, what is the program? A plugin to, say, Systray or Windows Explorer?
- Are people using linux at less risk (they tend to be "under the hood" of their computers more)?
- Are people using Macs at less risk? (any way to find out if the FBI has ported the prog to macs?)
