Microsoft Windows Update.
I hate how my computer keeps updating stuff without actually telling me what it is, so I changed the settings so it had to check with me before installing any updates. But it tricked me - it posted an 'urgent' message saying I needed to install something or other, and when I clicked on the message it changed my settings back to automatically installing updates.
THEN it automatically installed a security update that can detect whether or not the copy of Windows 7 installed on the computer is genuine. So next thing my desktop goes black and I start getting messages saying my copy of Windows is counterfeit and a window pops up with all these helpful reasons why I might have been sucked into installing it. I KNOW MY COPY IS ILLEGAL, I INSTALLED IT ON PURPOSE SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $300 FOR A REAL ONE.
Had to reinstall the bloody thing. This time I am NOT going to click on any more 'urgent' messages, and I'll make sure I read the fine print before I install any more Windows updates.
Hey Goose, ya big stud! Take me to bed or lose me for ever.
