You know, it's not really good to have two anti-virus programs running at the same time.  They can cause problems if they conflict with each other.

SuperAntiSpyware is an antispyware program. AVG is an antivirus program. They are actually different. Regardless, I've used them both for three years with no problems. I also don't run them at the same time. I find that they compliment eachother very well; what one catches, the other may miss. It's not really a huge problem for me, as they don't usually find much on here outside of a few tracking cookies, but it's still nice to have them as a precaution.

(SUPERAntiSpyware's virus definitions are updated several times a week,[1] and generally receives a build update once a month.[2] It is specifically designed to be compatible with other security applications, and therefore can be used even when those other applications are incompatible with anti-spyware products, such as Kaspersky. - From Wikipedia)

I wonder if subscribers to megaupload will get their money back.... Anyway, I don't understand how anonymous can even get away with stuff like this. Can they not be tracked by the government? Can the companies which are being threatened to be hacked not do anything to stop them? It doesn't make sense to me!

Really i just don't understand what bringing down xbox live, youtube, twitter, Facebook, etc. have to do with wanting megaupload back up. Keep hacking the government not the people who were not involved in it. Their logic is failing hardcore.

They just want to demonstrate their power


Taking down privately owned websites of people doesn't show power. Taking down governement owned sites does. This shows that this group is too scared of getting caught to take down a governement site which shows their lack of courage, skill, power, and their attachment to the cause.

I bet they can't take down xbl. If they think that after pan they haven't tripled checked there own service at Microsoft then anon are very boystrous. I have full confident in the service I pay for. Its not been hacked before and anon won't get through in the next few days. Let them come.

do you really think just because you pay for something its perfectly safe.  Everything has holes in security.  Im not saying it will be easy by any means. If anon is as good as they think they are than i bet they can get into it if they really wanted too.  The only thing is that now that there are reports that they will take down the servers, microsoft will be paying more attention to them and the same with sony too.  Sony definitely won't be making the same mistakes again.

I concur, no-one's security is infallable.

Not saying it will be easy, but the top-hackers in the world can pretty much get in anywhere they want.



They should just take down PS3 again. There would be much drama and entertaining in here.

I like how they don't even bother with Nintendo.



Sad. Bringing something down with Ddos attacks or finding out address and posting it on the internet is now hacking?

There are probably individuals out there much more capable alone, by themselves than the Anonymous put together.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

The drama would be so much bigger if Live was hacked. Millions of paying customers locked out?


Most of the live users are too busy playing Kinect to notice.

Having seen several documentaries on legendary hackers, I can say this:

Some of them alone can make Anon look like a bad joke.



This is anon they wont hack shit, they may take all these servers down but it will just be through DDOS attacks, nothing will be hacked no data will be lost.
