Friend, A 12 04 95 The Electronic Telegraph newsstory headlined 'Spoilsport' software bars games reports that An American company called DVD has developed a utility called UnGame that can delete up to 3,100 games from a computer network. Even if the game is hidden on the com- puter user's own hard disk, it will find it. The user's own hard disk? Although the machines at work usually belong to the com- pany, most employees regard them as an electronic equi- valent of their desk, and are similarly territorial. John Davison, PC Zone editor, says: If anyone stole something from your desk you'd be fed up. If anybody stole something from my computer, I'd be equal- ly disgusted. What kind of software is UnGame? The newsstory suggests the answer: ...industry experts have complained that companies may be releasing "tailored viruses".... I believe my first post to the list was about McAfee's Virus Blocker. Perhaps that can be...adapted. If so, those who then declared the information had nothing to do with privacy may continue playing their games. Of course companies may try another tack: Oracle's "internet terminal." As dlv@bwalk.dm.com pointed out in his 11 18 95 post, [I guess, they mean no permanent storage or software other than the browser in ROM. No remembered state, no viruses ... -DV] In "my" terminal.
