Warning: Your computer is currently broadcasting an IP address!

January 18th, 2008 by Shaun

Remember this bad boy back in the day?

You are broadcasting an IP advertisement

It used to open in a javascript window resized to the size of the image to make the below average user believe their PC was seconds away from being hacked. If I remember correctly, it was executed by Bonzi, the same company that made that crappy Bonzi Buddy spyware that took over your desktop and shoved targeted pop up ads down your throat and hijacked your browser.

What other stuff do you remember from the days of Internets olde?

bonzi buddy, broadcasting, humor, humour, IP address, pop up ads, spyware
