Well this is interesting... I appear to have found a firewall which should not exist, according to level minimum stated on the forums. It's rating is 0.4; they aren't supposed to go below 0.5 according to this http://www.slavehack.com/includes2/includes/forum.php?&action=viewtopic&topic=68821&cat=6
It's on an NPC which also has a fwl 1.3

I'd like to play this game, but I just get pwned after my first hour instantly, and when I check back in later I have 20 high-level viruses.

Its not like having a spammer virus on your computer matters. It doesn't degrade your performance or allow anyone to track you. All it does is take up some space really.

If you've just started, format the HDD and reset your IP. Having other players know your IP can be a problem because some will delete or hide all of your programs in addition to installing malware. And I thought that having viruses degraded your connection?

Wut? No virus damages your hardware.

DDoS does, if you're attacked by it, but it doesn't require the attackee to have the virus on them.

Warez viruses sap their connection. It even tells you how much connection was used by the virus when you cash in with them.

No, it tells you how much warez was sold. It measures it in MB.

No virus degrades your ability to do stuff except a DDOS, which destroys your hardware. All other viruses have no direct negative impact on your performance. Only one virus allows you to be tracked after an IP change, and that is the only thing it does.

The issue with letting virii be on your hard drive is you are in someones slave list and they can be logged into you. Normally by the time you have a virus on your hard drive though, your bank accounts have been stolen and your list of slaves.

You go on someone's slave list the instant they crack your computer, it doesn't matter if they put a virus on you or not.

But you can change your Ip then, not if they have a virus on you.
