An anti-windows virus... made by a windows user.

Nice to know that there are script kiddies who find it fun to make ransomware with the advice to use Linux.

Lame...

I rarely use this word, but what a... Slow person. No, I'm not going to use that word as it's offensive.

Hey - you're really on top of it today.

Go put your helmet back on and finish your apple sauce.

[Pogeymanz]

Wow... That's pretty funny.

Call me crazy, but I don't think a person who's been infected with that worm is going to take advice on operating systems from the ****** who made it. If anything, 'Linux' is being associated with a bad experience.

That's the same as if you would get some pretty heavy trojan-girl saying "Click Me" - would you click it ? ;)

[Blacklightbulb]

You know what would increase Linux users. A website that detects you system and then a virtual girl pops out and suggests the user to switch to Linux to be eligible to see some of her skin :P

I know it lame :|

[earthpigg]

that reeks of false-flag.

ie: someone that dislikes linux attempting to discredit it.

FWIW, they're probably from Romania or something. If I was writing a virus that output Romanian, it would not be anywhere near as correct ;) So I give them props.

I'd give them google translate.

It isn't just the attackers who are doing this sort of thing. Reformed malware authors suggest using Linux as well. Like this guy (http://philosecurity.org/2009/01/12/interview-with-an-adware-author) [philosecurity.org], for instance:


Interview with Matt Knox:
S: In your professional opinion, how can people avoid adware?
M: Um, run UNIX.
S: [ laughs]
M: We did actually get the ad client working under Wine on Linux.
S: That seems like a bit of a stretch!
M: That was a pretty limited market, I’d say.

You have to admit, it is pretty good advice.

what makes you think they are from Romania?

This is just pathetic.
