Popup video of the spam variety

[bamatone.livejournal.com]

Does anyone remember a video posted (I think it was in this community...) that showed a freshly formatted and installed WinXP being brough to its knees by going to a single web site? I seem to recall it having been posted around a fall holiday such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. I've searched back in the history for it with no luck. I'd kind of like to use it in a class presentation next week if I can find it.

Also... everyone in the office is getting hit with those damn FBI and CIA "You visit illegal websites" emails. Bleh.

Yeah we got hit by that virus too. First virus to hit us in awhile...

I'm actually suprised how many people know not to open attachments compared to the last outbreak. People are learning :D

Yeah one of my users got one of those awhile back. Luckily she had enough brains to know it was bogus, but she printed it out for me anyway. We got a good laugh and it joined my collection of hilarious spam emails.
