Anti-virus software in the refrigerator?

Apr 29, 2011 10 Replies

The repair man told my wife that we have a virus in our refrigerator's operating system. Now I know why we've had the flu around here. Should I install some anti-virus software in the refrigerator?



Viruses are not really the issue.

You need to make sure you don't get worms.

Get a better repairman. He should have had the software.

If it's an LG refrigerator, there is a good chance it's Linux.

I thought your wife's water just broke. What is she doing tallking to a refrigerator repairman?

Did you ever get in touch with the plumber that got her pregnant?

and a virus that managed to infect such a control could easily cause real damage to the compressor and the contents of the refrigerator.

You gotta get that fixed right or else that virus will spread to your microwave and stove then you'll have serious issues.

Don't give the virus writers ideas. I will definitely hold off on getting ethernet over powerline now.
