Some Question:
Why do I need to take Ownership of the NDIS.sys or NDIS.sys.mui ? Why cant we delete the file directly.
Ans: You could try, you will found that you wont be able to delete without using the take ownership method.

Even Macbook is not safe

For those people that think Mac is safer.
Think again.

Of course PC is not even safer, but at least for this year competition, the Mac lost and manage to be hacked in seconds. Faster than PC.

Conclution: Nothing is safe :). Both PC and Mac are vulnerable for attach.

For those people that think, well the person only manage to take control, not spreading virus.
My argument will be:
If the person could control your machine, he could install a lot of malware or virus. Worst ...He could even read your confidential documents. and capture your keystroke.
