Panda is a Spanish company this is rather confusing

to me but maybe that is intentional. I don't know is it

OK to tear the fingernails out and crush the testicles

of people who steal games passwords and force them

to write a cleanup program actually if it can do the cleanup

then I think it's best to use it he does know _all_ the

changes his software made to those systems, and others

don't I would question if it is a good thing to continue

to trust any installation that can be attacked in this way

so I don't know that it helps to just fix it back to it's pristene

but vulnerable prior state.
