Behold the interloper...

    A cycle of system nuisances are beginning to increase.  These are good signs however.  As predictably noticeable as to be expected when system viruses scanning is turned off in windows likely for one bit of clicking on something somewhere.  I'd mention that this need not be with respect to anything of the less than trustworthy path.  For instance, not using suspect software, or being a torrents offender, and generally restricting this to par for the course stuff.  The increased probability and likelihood of contracting some internet based infection these days are a large problem, and the likely source instituting something of mandatory quarantine one should imagine.  

A most recent episode...

 Turning virus scanning off, disabling windows updates.   More likely than not, its simply to let someone that might be paying attention to these, for most, trivialities that they are there.  This is to see what you might do or say, it could be retributive.  If it flows along the lines asinine or juvenile, it usually takes the course of something more silly obnoxious...like clicking on the errant Der Spiegel article about the NSA one too many times which leads to any number of windows system sounds being toggled and making a tethered tablet go haywire.  Pretty common one.  The duration of this could be anywhere from several days or a lengthier time until some time window has elapsed (that I've seen), or a system nuke attempts to reconcile such issue, if your hardware weren't permanently doomed one should imagine.

Its pretty easy to speculate on the intrinsic role of a given nuisance on a system, whether it might be to harass a user on a system, or given to the nature of expressing control or any manner of dominance on a given system.  The more obvious extreme cases of rendering a system to the extent of being unusable it would seem are likely not the objectives of anyone engaged in a bit of snooping, or as in my experience, making it obvious on some point being there, or at least semi obvious is simply a matter of letting the user know it is so, and traditionally the stance could be on the motivation of provoking a given reaction (obviously this writing, for instance, is an example).  One might add, over the course of time, that these sorts of light provocations are less likely to lead to the same sets of reactions.  More than likely, it would seem social conditioning to such a presence makes for anything that were not outside of typified usage patterns, or that one having engaged in exactly the same sets of behaviors as before without significant alterations simply points either to some inherent experience to such condition, this leading neither to any change in usage patterns or revealing anything furthered, may lead to a condition of re instating the role and service that such user might expect...being that, for instance, the red button goes off on a daily basis as expected, or the machine that goes 'bing' as one should hope does exactly that.

Some considerations for periodic testings at varying levels.

Testing to see, if you are willing to engage in a personal algorithm for disarming the interloper...that is to see what tactics you might engage in removing a given presence, could be smarts testing...I don't have so much interests here in this realm at all, or more commonly fit into one profile but not the most general profile of all...that is between do nothing ism or having installed some anti viral software that doesn't do at all what it claims to do, at least not being owned and designed around the largest likely interloping offenders.

The lead up to all of this on the creativity side...having perused an employment add for a computer vision (image processing) related job for the National Institute of Health, or alternately, if in proximity, related to any particular twitter hashtag, although its hard in measuring timeliness for some potential matter of speculation.

A status quo, I might add has led to such a customary condition arising with greater frequency than other socially exchanged ailments, or this is to say if an issue of 'bin' were a problem, than the frequency of social exchange of the common cold should only drive home what only need be furnished in so far as surveillance as evidence, but fortunately civilizations dropped these sorts of medievalists some time ago?!  I must say though I do feel as though I exist in quarantine for a condition that I hadn't deserved...adding that for the many years spent, it seems my ideas must still be infectious or at least dangerous enough?!  Although it seems more than likely, given to the customary status quo, if a propagandist hadn't shown up conveniently at your door step with papers in hand ready to counter such an illness, there were always the matter of ignoring, or suggesting in varying ways the ill logic of the condition itself.    A recent Halloween telling of Through the Wormhole and Zombie Apocalypse were given to the same presence of the mindless illness that must exist in all of us.  To this extent forgoing the hippocratic oath, I am not sure how much this were to the extent of reflexive conditioning...if it weren't only part of some fictionalizing the role and nature of behavior.  Apparently re chorusing the narrative if it hadn't already seemed over worked to any sense of decency, little explanation is given for any derived model, or merely served to some ideological presence itself, which is to say there is amply little reason to believe much here in the existential ordering of things.  Rabies, or encephalitis, meningitis, or any number of potentially neurologically impairing contagions tend not only to be rarer in their own right, but that they also represent more often than not weaker points in the food chain for social host re productivity, not stronger points, and thus while primal manifestations of uncontrollable rage, for the sake of Holly wood films, in this regard may not in reality be great for social transmission relative to other causal mechanisms.  Or if the trick is better done through an airborne transmission, there is all the likelihood that evolutionary resources are spent bettering the cough as opposed to bettering the primal rage craze.  Maybe the ant, has specifically dedicated neuro pathway channels mostly consistent from generation of one off spring to the next which control, for instance, the ant's given desire not only to climb but also forage on a leaf, unlikely one is to wonder that any specific channels or pathways for human behavior are one and the same...or this is to say evolution of this sort is not only rarer, I would expect, but exceptionally rare in possibility, that is, unlikely one might find specific tasking type behaviors, unless the little bug were actually more intelligent in design, other than say handing down some simpler orders of tasks...in the computing world truly decoding tasks would amount, not only to figuring out the desired tasks for certain operations but I believe handling this in a relational manner which, for higher order functioning, something of feedback testing a system for response signals...I'd say pretty crazy to believe that a virus could do these sorts of things without having some inset intelligent design  outside of natural evolutionary forces that might otherwise be involved.  Obviously, one looks at the zombie gait, and it just doesn't bode as well either for locomotive transmission, consider that a normal walking gait, is more likely to spread things faster than a disabled one, for instance, so truly your zombie might actually look like you or I.  Thus while it is not always true in the evolutionary sense that something better is always the  optimal course for evolution, but that ample enough existential space exists for something to propagate, it seems that statistical advantage could still be awarded to the attack of the fast breeder/fast propagator in principle, if the infection is noticeably perilous not only to host, but having made itself known to the intelligence of a greater society that has aided in the evolution of such crowd contagion in the first place, or the fast breeding zombification could look like something on steroids...but I wonder if burning the car metaphorically speaking of gas, too quickly too soon, is also just not as advantageous?!  This being said, I don't know that I'd bank on the zombie super flu anytime soon.

  I don't know that one could always also characterize evolution by way of arms race, or at least this is not characteristically necessary at all in adaptation.  As in most taxonomy, it seems any number of viruses, one should imagine, statistically more likely benign, or finding ways to populate a host without killing and then assuming potentially it were immune response, secondary infections or anything else in the added process that did us in...hmm...sort of leads me back to the interloper...we are only lucky to be infected and made known that we are being infected in the most obnoxious ways?!    This leads to the inset logic that system killers are just not so common in the computing world...and the likely reasons are that well the FBI and the NSA like their host systems living, alongside most hacks...they want to accrue data, not extinguish it outright, at least for most this logic it seems should be true, and thus, I am wondering maybe semi convincing myself that there are parallels between biological and digital viruses.
