I have no idea how you can assert that given that, according to the account, the problems began with a Java module on an unpatched virtual machine with known and documented vulnerabilities, she ran a virus scan and the problems stopped. Perhaps a tear in the fabric of space caused a build-up of chronoton particles in her neural net. Perhaps it didn't. See Occam's Razor.ElDiabloConCaca said:I'm still gonna be the pessimist (or optimist, however you look at it) and say that her programs crashing were still coincidence and unrelated to the Java file.
I know everyone hates Norton, but this is about as perfect an ad hominem fallacy as I can imagine.ElDiabloConCaca said:...doesn't remember exactly what she did to find or get rid of the virus other than running Norton AntiVirus -- the same program that recently gave false positives on the "hacktool.underhand" virus).For all we know, it could have been Norton's itself causing the application instability, as it is VERY well known to do!
