Talking about viruses .... I know the guys behind Kaspersky .... they have some of the best anti-viral programs in the world. But there was one occasion where .... after a scan .... it found an interesting (and an unwanted)program in the boot sector of my hard drive. I was impressed .... I know computers and I had never seen anything like that. All my anti-viral programs did not work .... it was located in a place where it could not be deleted. My friends at Kaspersky were also impressed .... and determined. In the end they found out who put this unwanted tracking program on my computer .... apparently it happened when I visited the White House website for some information .... in short .... by visiting their website the people who manage the White House website will install a program onto your drive that you cannot delete.

This happened about 10 years ago .... and I can only imagine what they have now.
