So what's the "logic" that because people running Norton were gettings these alerts- that Norton is shit? Norton was RIGHT! The news stories just out PROVE THIS! People who were running a current and up-to-date Norton Firewall setup SAW IT, while the rest did NOT! How can it be "better" that firewalls and software that did NOT detect this activity is BETTER? Is just the OPPOSITE! Anyone who is in Science or Medicine would want tools that DETECT things- not HIDE them! (That would be totally stupid!) How can these be FALSE DETECTIONS when the above stories show that the alerts I and others were getting were TRUE DETECTIONS of the signatures of this virus/worm. Because people are not seeing them NOW is because we would have to assume that the Renderosity techs have found the problem and corrected it. But I really DOUBT they will ever admit to it. The articles on this virus/worm indicate that the problem is really due to LACK of good security measures, and no one wants to admit that. RMP has one of the most LOW-TECH and easy to pilfer and plunder setups of any marketplace anywhere. By just getting passwords (that are easy to crack) people can get access to SEVERAL YEARS WORTH of model purchases-- worth THOUSANDS in some cases- yet a LOT of people here seem to LIKE THIS setup! I think RMP mechants are being RIPPED OFF like crazy and it makes RMP just like a big P2P Piracy setup for those who get the passwords. But OBVIOUSLY NOBODY here wants to talk about this really lousey "security" at RMP. DAZ and PoserPro's don't operate with such a really sloppy and loose security setup over customers model purchases...
