Variant of Hackarmy Trojan Horse

TechNewsWorld describes the Beckham code variant of the Hackarmy trojan.

Two thoughts:

1) If you are surfing the Net on a Windows box, without a firewall and at least ONE anti-virus program, you deserve to have you computer explode where it sits.

2) When are you going to explore Windows-alternatives?
As previously noted, my personal fav is one of the Linux varieties, but there is also Apple and the Mac OS.
