It should display on the "Welcome" window every time we boot.

Also a good idea, although it would lead to a bunch of threads asking "How do I get rid of that security warning displayed every time I sign in to Windows?" :).

Just have it appear every 10th boot. Just to keep reminding people.

I just had another one hang up on me rather quickly after asking him what he was wearing.

That is beyond awesome!!! LOL!!!!!!

Just to update
They're back.
They are now calling themselves "Telstra Technical Support"

Just got 2 calls one yesterday and one today.

Telstra has no record of them..

They are getting a bit more clever and providing a callback number.
Actually 2 numbers, one yesterday that did go back to the person, and a different one today that did also.

What surprised me about there offer to "remote my Windows pc" was that they also offered to remote a Mac computer and "get this" a Linux pc too..
I should have taken them up on the "remote my Linux pc".
Could have had some fun at there expense.


Beware,
Telstra or Microsoft will NOT call you saying you have internet software problems on your pc.

They called me on my cell phone i laughed the man off
