IE Security Warning (Author: Unknown)
When I clicked an link in an email from a friend of mine, it took me to a website that had streaming media content. It automatically started a download of the appropriate plugin for viewing. After reading the warning box, I fell off my chair laughing. The box automatically fills in the appropriate corporate name and links, etc. The result is truly one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I still have the message up on my screen, and I will type it here for you: ------------- BEGIN TRANSCRIPTION ---------- Security Warning! Do you want to install and run "Windows Media Player Setup" signed on 11/18/99 7:17PM and distributed by:
Microsoft Corporation [this was a clickable link to www.microsoft.com]
Publisher authenticity verified by VeriSign Commercial Software Publishers CA
Caution: Microsoft Corporation asserts that this content is safe. You should only install/view this content if you trust Microsoft Corporation to make that assertion.
[click box] Always trust content from Microsoft Corporation? ------------- END TRANSCRIPTION ----------
Needless to say, I just pressed "Cancel".
