"For Windows Defender's Team:
I saw your post in the blog (10-Oct-2008) about my previous message.
Just want to say 'Hello' from Russia.
You are really good guys.
It was a surprise for me that Microsoft can respond on threats so fast.
I can't sign here now (he-he, sorry), how it was some years ago for more seriously vulnerability for all Windows
Happy New Year, guys, and good luck!

P.S. BTW, we are closing soon. Not because of your work. :-))
So, you will not see some of my great ideas in that family of software.
Try to search in exploits/shellcodes and rootkits.
Also, it is funny (probably for you), but Microsoft offered me a job to help
improve some of Vista's protection. It's not interesting for me, just a life's irony."
