When computers go bad

Good news of a kind for gullible people with certain physical disfunctions. They'll all be a bit richer, at least for the time being, after the amount of spam sent fell sharply over the Christmas period.

I myself thought my PC had joined a botnet this afternoon. It started to put up alerts telling me I'd put a few pounds on over Christmas, that my pointy hat looked silly, and that I smelt of tallow tealights. It even suggested I was a rubbish archdruid and should give the job to Marston Mortaine.

I was completely mystified, but thankfully Mrs Hnaef came round and explained what had happened. Apparently the operating system  had downloaded a Critical Update.
