    ***PLEASE READ FULLY***

    Comcast has received complaints about your computer. We believe it may be:

    * Infected with a virus

    * Sending "spam" email that you are unaware of

    * Allowing spammers to use your connection to send their spam

    * Trying to infect other computers on the Internet with viruses

    The health of your computer is your responsibility. Consult your computer's manufacturer if you are unable to remedy the situation.

    ***************
    EXPLANATION
    ***************

    This message was sent by the Comcast Network Abuse and Policy Observance Team. We investigate reports of Internet Abuse by our customers. We have received such a report identifying your computer.

    The complaint(s) we have received were from other users of the Internet, who are receiving email from you, which they did not request. We understand that you may not be aware of any such email, and you will not see it in your normal email program.

    Typically these types of emails are caused, or are allowed to be sent by, viruses. They are either trying to infect other user's computers, or they allow spammers to connect to YOUR computer to send their spam.
    I ran a virus check and it toook some VIruses off, then a sypware took some ads off, but I dont want to loose my cable modem!

    Funnily enough, Comcast has a few pink contracts.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t
