I saw someone on basil complaining about exactly the same issue after downloading something from a hacking forum. But most of them are dead now anyway, so I doubt its the same file.
Well, networking isn't exactly my forte, plus my "tech savvy" that you've seen so far is completely home-brewed. I've had to do a lot of trouble-shooting for my parents because THEY aren't halfway decent with computers, and they tend to do screw up things that really shouldn't have to happen anyways. I only have my brothers to thank for getting me started with Java in the first place.
Also, other people such as Fiel and Devil's Sunrise could be considered "tech savvy", but does that mean they know every intermediate thing about computers? Maybe, maybe not. What I do know is that I'm a little bit better with image file formats than most "tech savvy" people I know.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a learning process for me, and perhaps for most other people too. It's not like I actively seek to ruin my computer with crazy h4x0r stuff like this, then try to fix it >_> Nor do I make these things since I believe it's a waste of time for both me and the victims.
