Can you please add the company name in the title? If you want to keep original title, you can do it like this:
This printer company [Procolored]
Good to see there are still viruses in the wild, I was beginning to think those kinda became some ancient forgotten form of art. [I mean proper viruses, not malware in general]
The printer company is called Procolored.
Also it’s for a UV printer, not an inkjet or laser printer, with the cheapest option on their website being $1900 and the average being around $6000. So, not a regular printer you would buy off the shelf. It’s still bad of course, but only so many people even could be impacted by it.
That’s almost worse. Because then you’ll be more inclined to trust them.
Yeah, I would expect a printer I paid 6k for to not have malware!
Except you don’t need to have bought one to be affected by it. Maybe your employer bought one, and infected a computer you use at work.
That’s possible, but they aren’t really typical office printers either, it’s for specialized art printing. Again it’s definitely bad, this just isn’t typical office equipment.
Wow it’s not HP.
In that case it wouldn’t be news.
Btw, germany has a law about “Computersabotage”. Wondering why HP & co still can make your paid (computer) hardware not working anymore?

HP created a whole generation of militant anti-HP consumers long before Louis Rossman got involved.

Yeah I’ve been bitching about their laptops too lately.
It’s almost like they want the hinges to break after six months.
Looks like the printer company did not have antivirus on their systems.
It was a false positive.
Edit: I can’t believe this needed a /s
It was not
… c/whoosh?
No this is an example where sarcasm and stupidity can’t be distinguished via text alone.
Would have thought it was an obvious play on the headline, but I accept that sheer stupidity does exist.

Mobile wikipedia on computers looks nice
Yeah unfortunately
Why would anyone use the software? Aren’t modern printers plug and play?
Plug and auto install drivers and play
The fact they’re still trying to blame “Chinese language” after presumably being provided with receipts?
