GPU-Assisted Malware Can Be Difficult to Detect

[jwl3]

Here's an idea: Drag out and shoot out these dweebs who create viruses and spam. Have they any idea how many man-hours of productivity are lost to formatting and re-installing Windows, drivers, your programs, files...?

I'd rather they not go away completely, have you any idea how much money I have made cleaning up peoples computers cause of simple malware?

Amazing malware can use GPGPU but nothing/little else has come this far yet.

Now we have a possible crysis on our hands .. ( sorry had to say it )

So in turn, it won't run if you don't have a GPU?

Never did I think that my Intel Decelerator would save me xD

"This malware requires DX11 to run. Please upgrade your graphics card."

[citation][nom]weefatbob[/nom]Obvious you have not used Norton Products in past year and half, otherwise you may actually have given some decent knowledge based argument rather than the old winded 'Norton bad' overused quote. This tag was well earned in the past, for several years they were horrendous and a real PITA on system resources and not really much use with all the crap they installed.But in the past year and a half that has changed dramatically.Next time, make sure you know what you are talking about before you go and blast someone for using something that you have ZERO current knowledge on, then and only then give an informed opinion rather than an arrogant I know better because in nineteen umpteen blah blah blah....I give up, I am so bored talking to you now, seriously, you have no idea what you are talking about!!![/citation]


tl;dr

Crysis on your GPU has been taken to a new level

People will have to buy macs, they don't get viruses ;-)
Of course Steve J. will double the prices... but who cares

Alternatively, don't be a moron and open a file you don't know what it is or where it came from.

A little education goes a long way, and since I slapped my computer-illiterate family for not reading e-mails properly and randomly opening shit they've never had any malware in over a year.

god damn it!

 

[fjjb]

is this why intel bought mcafee?... ooh wait...

Fear the evil selfish hackers who develop viruses for not hooking up but don't fear the antivirus companies which profit high with all that.
