Failed because of missing updates. 40:10 - 0:59:00 They load a new payment page to attempt to get their payment. 59:20 - 1:00:30 They say that they are having some problems with their main server and will fix the computer today and collect payment tomorrow! 01:01:00 - 01:10:00 A system restore point is made, they clear some cache, turn off logging of their famous errors and warnings, run the disk cleanup utility, add some junk icons to the desktop, attempt to install antivirus but can't since Windows needs updating. They install Registry Easy and clean the registry on my fresh VM. 1:10:55 - 1:13:25 They return to the second payment website and now the Open DNS block has kicked in so it is also blocked. :) 1:16:05 - 1:53:00 They try to fix cause of their payment sites being blocked. 1:53:46 - 1:56:50 They load up their third payment site which isn't blocked. 2:04:30 - 2:05:30 Failed attempt to install another AV program. 2:30:20 - 2:42:05 Poking around changing security settings. Taking another crack at installing AVG. 2:46:10 - 2:47:00 They finally figured out how to remove the DNS entry that is doing the blocking. I wish I could have made the DNS change in my router but because of my digital TV service I need to keep it the way it is. 2:50:00 - 3:07:50 They have me fill out the main payment form so they can get paid. When that fails they provide me with wire transfer instructions. 3:11:30 - 3:13:10 More failed attempts at installing some AV software. 3:19:09 - 3:24:48 They attempt to "Upgrade the computer to Windows 8″ by installing a skin pack. If this worked it would make the XP installation look similar Windows 8. :) 3:24:52 - 3:29:30 The skin pack did something that corrupted this old version of XP. It is now stuck in an endless boot loop. He calls me at 3:25:55 and obviously doesn't know how to troubleshoot the state of my computer. He said he will call back but instead goes home. 3:29:50 - 3:33:10 A new technician Jason calls back but doesn't know about my looping boot issue. He just wants me to walk me through the payment procedure... He eventually just hangs up 3:33:20 - 3:44:40 This is the funniest call ever, it's after hours and it seems like there is just one drunk guy manning the phones. After he hangs up I get him again at 3:37:02 3:44:41 - 4:42:00 Call after I have had my boot issue resolved (I copied a new copy of the VM file which takes about 1 minute). I fill out their payment form again. I pretend to call the bank to see why my card doesn't work for online purchases, of course since this is the weekend the fake bank needs me to go to my branch when it opens on Monday. 4:42:01 - 5:15:30 They go over a new support icon that has been installed and install a bunch of software again since my OS is virgin again. :) 5:16:12 - 5:56:30 They call a few days later to get the payment now that I had a chance to see the bank. I just give them a hard time since they have already done the work. I poke holes in some of the claims they make. I make them explain some of the things like how I can get unlimited free movies, games and software as soon I renew the maintenance warranty. 5:56:31 - 6:16:28 I finally show him the part 1 Hacked Gadgets article, at 6:01:45 I tell them that this is my site, his reaction is priceless.
