  4. Microsoft early warning service for $5 per user by KWTm · · Score: 5, Funny

    I am offering a low-cost service to users of Microsoft products. For a mere $5, you will receive a notice that says:

    WARNING -- Your product is riddled with security holes!

    There, now people can be warned.

    Hurry, send in your money now! Otherwise you won't receive notice that Microsoft products are vulnerable!
