Holy sh!t I never realised that they're that bad! Getting you to go in to event viewer and telling you that each event in there is a virus. Idiots.

Thanks for recording this though, was very entertaining.

I've got these call since I moved to my current cable based supplier. Never had a single call before then.

I string them out, I'm on Ubuntu, OSX, 'I'll boot a virtual windows machine now', 'i don't have a computer at home, wait whilst I call the office', etc.

Better that I'm wasting their time, that they're annoying (or worse) my family.

They absolutely get aggressive, but hey, I'm just super polite and keep asking what's the keyboard short cut for CTRL-ALT whatever off an iMac running a virtual MS instance

DFD.
