Phonecall from the windows help desk

At last the call I have been waiting for.

The caller said 'are you the main computer user in your house'
yes
'are you in front of your computer'
I was at work so..... yes
there then followed 15 minutes of various tests all of which were to prove my anti virus protection was not working. Then the bite he asked me to log into a remote control program website saying he was from the windows help desk and that he wanted to prove he was legitimate and from the computer builder. Hang on I said, windows did not build my computer its a shuttle x. I stopped him when he tried to skip this point, and he knew the game was up so he unleashed a tirade of abuse and slammed the phone down with my laughter ringing in his ears.

I have been waiting for this call because I know of a few people I support that have been caught by these nasty little people and I wanted to know how they did it and get my own back a bit.

Mflow

So Mflow has gone funny as well now. They report that they are working on a newer better system and everything will be back up and running soon. Odd!!! to say the least.
