I almost ROFLMAO’ed in the OFFICE~

Monday, February 4, 2008

Oki this might seem not funny to you but to me it is…

 here goes..

 here at the office.. while currently researching on ripping things from and ATOM feed using xpath there was this pop up (i forgot to screenshot) that says that my computer has a virus and such… then I pressed [OK]

it brought me to this website (PLEASE DON’T VISIT!) www.xpantivirus.com and it "searched" my pc for a virus…

  

 

So OK fine~! i have trojans in my PC.. no what… ..more pop up.. not actually popup but an image overlay..

the XP antivirus online has detected spyware in my PC.. fine…………. "REMOVE ALL" just to go with the flow…..

I need to install ActiveX controls to  "repair" my computer… without clicking another pop up apprears.. now this is the real thing…

 

The software that you "SHOULD" install…

So, what’s funny about this?

  1.  I’m a LINUX USER!
  2. I’m using FIREFOX, I don’t have ActiveX controls
  3. I don’t have a Drive ‘D’
  4. more over ‘Local Settings

Don’t be fooled.. PLEASE!! I already had a handful of people that was fooled by this, sadly.

So please, let it not include YOU!

 Yes even if you are an XP user and I’m not, thinking that this does not apply to you.. it does! you ARE the XP user i’m NOT!

 Don’t just click things around the Internet like a KID.

If you did not make that appear, cancel it!

that’s all… i hope somebody learns from this…
