\nWhat would happen if the masses of recruited Windows PCs are able to impact bigger part

Think “Dr. Evil”. :<\/p>\n

You want the internet back? That would be “one million dollars”.<\/p>\n

Thanks Microsoft. I hope Bill is paying the ransom he and his OS have caused.<\/p>\n

It’s not the internet that is vunerable, it is not the computers. It is the operating system called Windows made by Microsoft.
\nTechnically all systems can have viruses. In reality only Microsoft Windows systems are part of these malware empires.<\/p>\n

It is so much easier to go back to zero from one than from multiple thousand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
