Quote - What some are suggesting is to remove the battery that keeps your CPU clock up to date. That too is probably an over-reaction, but there are viruses out there that can hide in the ram used by that clock...

I did say we were being paranoid :laugh:
and yes, that's why, I've known of a few that like to hang out  in the unused memory located just behind the RTC in it's allocated window.

I would never suggest pulling the system RAM unless it was absolutly nesecary. it's just too dangerous for people who've never done it before. pulling the battery is IMO a bit over the top as well as I can't remember any infectious software that has used that particular trick in ages.

what really irks me about polipos is that it looks, from what I've read, that it's able to perform thread injection into other processes.
