Wow.
I just tried to send someone a link with the string “download.php” in it. Imagine my surprise when the other party didn’t get the message? Well shit son, it appears that Microsoft went ahead and blocked certain strings of text to prevent “phishing and worms.” As a friend of mine well put it, it’s creepy that there’s certain words that we can’t say for our “protection.”
While from a security standpoint I can certainly understand the necessity to block certain things, but you really can’t prevent user stupidity. If you, the basic idiot consumer, cannot figure out that people you don’t know are sending you URLs with strange filenames, you PROBABLY shouldn’t download it. The security community shouldn’t have to force these things on you because you’re a complete idiot. So I guess in the end I really don’t blame Microsoft for having to take these actions, but I still think it’s fucking stupid.
Don’t agree with me? There’s a comment button here somewhere.

yep, fucking morons. that’s the only way to discribe someone who opens a file called ‘Get a Free Bike’ from SPamMaster332489LOLLOLLOLLOL!
Saying that using certain words is ‘proection violation’ also sounds a bit like military state and Dictatorship to me.
I hate Microsoft too for being such so historically stupid and being fucking ego maniacs (I don’t go on that spamnbot or whatever btw, i just know from experience that their Heads and CEo’s are al cockheads.)
Why can’t we just shoot the ppl who send all these viruses instead of prosecuting them? They can’t make anymore that way and can’t pass on their tricks to other greasy, spotty hacker wannabies. (Only intended as an insult to black hat hackers out there. DIE DIE DIE!!!)
You’re gotta be a reall asshole to fuck everyone’s computer’s up just for the hell of it. They don’t even become famous for god’s sake. Only ‘their work’ becomes famous. THAT ISN@T FAME! THAT’s and TWAT who loves their mother’s basement and hasn’t SEEN THE SUN IN 20 YEARS!!!
