WebTV/MSNTV Virus Dials 911
Semji Rkim writes: "Though not the first virus to direct modems at 911, ABC News is reporting a bug in WebTV (Now branded as MSNTV) units which causes the infected unit to hang-up and dial 911. The virus spreads via email and Microsoft officials are looking into how it is able to replicate and also control the modem. Affected users are advised to delete the email and call Microsoft at 1-800-469-3288."
This can't be true. Microsoft just spent a whole month focusing on security. There must be some mistake.
It's gotta be fake, they included an 800 number. Unless the first thing it asks for is your credit card number it's probably some scam to sell you a penis enlargement device. Hmm, now that I think about it, Microsoft tech support and penis enlargement scams are pretty similar.
if this happened on 9/11, and there was a WebTV in one of the WTC's, and there was a business man reading his e-mail on webtv, and the virus took control of the webtv and called 911, and then the plane crashed into the wtc, would the fireman have arrived quicker, changing history so that an errant virus writer saved the lives of thousands?????? nah.
Your sig is about thirty times funnier than your joke. Stick with the visual comedy. :)
