Got a email from Comcast.net, saying I have a Bot on my Computer, and
how to elimnate it, Not so sure that I want to follow their directions.
I'm pretty sure comcast bought some software written by the CEOs
nephew that looks for things like bit torrent traffic and sends
out these wildly inflated warnings (or maybe it doesn't look for
anything, maybe it just sends them out at random to try and get
people to buy expensive security software).
Since comcast won't ever tell you what they actually saw, there isn't
any reason to pay any attention to these messages.
I ditto Tom on this.
Some of my friends even got phone calls from people telling
them they represent Microsoft in the USA and demand
(Yes, Demand!) that you let them login to your computer
to remove a virus which is causing infection of many other
computers in the USA.
