In Soviet Russia, Virus gives you AT&T DSL.

So I moved into a new apartment last week w/ my friend B. It's a really nice place. The living room's very open and the bedrooms are fairly private from the rest of the house, we have a nice view from our large balcony of a nice quiet and safe neighborhood. My only complaint is that there is only one spot in the house where we are able to pick up an unencrypted wireless network connection; we had to sign up for internet service.

The service was finally turned on today, although we got the modem and installation software in the mail last week. I hooked it all up first thing when I got home, popped in the installation CD (You can set it up manually, BTW), and got a nice surprise from AT&T. The following picture really says it all:


I checked the damn thing with AVG as well as McAfee and they both detected the trojan on the CD. That just blows me away. I'm going to call customer support and express my concerns when they open tomorrow.

All hail Linux!
