@EvilFingers North-America (I'm Canadian) Not sure it would be easy to evade law enforcement at an ISP level. But I might be wrong here ;)

@EvilFingers @HostExploit That ISP is linked to the botnet ? IE Their operators are profiting from it ? Not sure that would work easily here

@EvilFingers yep. on 3. March 2010 19:15:10 CET :)

@EvilFingers np :) could it be that my mail from yesterday is lying in the spam folder again? :)

@EvilFingers I'm more than a little biased, but I say neither. Both are expensive, have far more features than I need, and are heavy srvr.

@EvilFingers I look short in this way on google. http://bit.ly/9XrPeG

www.spywareanalytics.com has just been released in the wild. Thanks for the service @EvilFingers

@EvilFingers SpywareAnalytics.com looks good...nice job!
