Yeah, I've seen that site - 1 item in the last 10 years. Not a lot considering that he broadcasts 2 hrs a week. Maybe he's improved since the early 2000s?
Anything else? I don't really understand the extreme reaction he seems to get.
Why is that? I've heard lots of people saying that, but not had any concrete reasons why. As far as I know, he's generally correct about the things he discusses. And pretty good at making technical discussions interesting.
Wiping the hard drive is pretty good, but I wouldn't even trust that. It's possible to hide malicious code in many other places which would survive a wipe of the HDD. I've heard of malware which can be installed into the graphics card firmware, or the BIOS, and I imagine that anywhere else which can be written to is a possible location to hide.
Personally, I'd chuck the computer away and buy a new one, but I'm paranoid.
