a moral trojan?

no, no, no, I'm not talking about condoms :p

there's a new Trojan horse program that's starting to spread around the 'net...

...but instead of doing malicious things like wiping out your hard drive, or stealing your financial information, its creator took the moral high road...

"the Trojan horse, called Yusufali-A, monitors Web surfing habits. When it spots an objectionable term such as "sex" or "exhibition" in the browser's title bar, it hides the Web site and instead pops up a message taken from the Koran"

Read more about it HERE.

I like it... a moral trojan... cool :-)

  2. Ugh, a Trojan acting as a moral policeman.
    If I want to see porn, I definitely do not want a self righteous trojan stopping me from doing it!!! ;-))
    And a verse from the Koran? Only the Koran? Why not have a verse from the Koran, from the Bible, from the Talmud, from Buddha and Confucious, to name a few?
    Or does the author think that only Muslims surf for smut? :-P
    Malapetaka betul.
