Looks like I nearly took one for the team by falling for some Facebook click-bait.
I happened on an advert for a wifi extender that alleged to also prevent your ISP from slowing your asdl link if there’s too much data use. Given that a single megabit per second is a long hoped for goal on my rural telephone wires I decided to give this a try. Now, I can usually sense if something is too good to be true but this one got past me.
The sellers kept me informed by email of the order’s progress and Yodel delivered the package today.
The unit looks quite well made except for the part that adapts it to a 13amp socket. I struggled to get it to fit well but got there in the end. This got me reading the instructions which I noted contained no mention of the little box’s super powers.
I plugged it in and it didn't fit the socket well; it wouldn’t go fully home but hey ho, I’ve come this far.........
I really should have stopped there and on reflection I had a feeling something wasn’t quite right....... but I didn’t
I opened up my windows laptop and typed the given url into the bar. Thank goodness my Avast subs are up to date as it jumped straight in to tell me my little wonder box is actually full of malware
Cunning Bastardos!
Ah well. A little older, a little poorer and a little wiser
