    Unhappy Every programmer on this site is malicious

    --- I knew that title would sukker you in!

    Sometimes I think that people who ask questions on this site are making an evil creation. Questions like:

    how do i have my program scan for other instances of itself on the internet ?

    -can easily be used to make a program like: SubSeven, BackOrfice, NetBus....

    how can I make my program start at windows startup?

    -can easily make a keylogger, or a trojan horse, etc startup

    how can i send email through vb?

    -can easily make a program that spoofs the origen of email addresses

    How can i get my program to detect keystrokes?
    - helps to make keyloggers

    the list goes on and on...

    Now I'm not saying everyone is making illigitament programs; however doesn't this seem odd... please respond if you have any thoughts or comments

    Windows XP Professional
    Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Professional

    How do I make an illigitament program? Just Kidding. You just have to trust that they are using their powers for good and not evil.

    give us a break. If you think that these tips are used for malicious purposes, go ahead. A few might be, but how can you tell? All of the functions you listed above have equally usefull legitimate purposes.

    Please try not to criticize other's questions. Thanks for not pointing any fingers though.
