    Comcast "Bot Alert"

    Comcast was so nice to call me and tell me I have "bot alert". One or more of my computers may be infected with a bot.

    Checked all my computers, everything is scanned and up to date.

    Anyone else getting these?

    I'm almost positve it came from Comcast.
    Automated call gives their philidephia address and this web address xfinity.com/bothelp. Telling me I MAY have a problem.

    Taking me here:
    Constant Guard

    Sounds like crap.
