Viruses and funny Windows XP install screen
A friend of mine asked me to help him fix his Windows machine from a virus that he got infected with. Since I switched to a Mac a couple years ago I really hadn’t thought much about viruses, they’ve really gotten pretty evil. This one compromised the machine and then tried to extort him to buy anti-virus software to cure it! Lol.
Anyway, as I was reinstalling Windows I got this screen:
It reads:
Surfing the Internet: safe, fast, and flexible
Windows XP includes the most secure version of Internet Explorer to date.
That’s reassuring.
