So how many of you have Yahoo IM and have been getting messages from people trying to get you to take some IQ test? Before it was random contacts but seems a friend of mine got infected. I changed her name for privacy sake but, be careful about this. I copied the log because what the 'hacked' account says is the same each and every time, the responses are scripted. Ohh and I removed the http from the link so nobody accidently clicks the link that has the trojan in it

2284: heyy
Katscan: Morning
Katscan: How are you?
2284: i just took an IQ quiz here.. pretty cool
Katscan: huh?
2284: got a 113 lol... I thought I was smarter than that
Katscan: Who are you? (If you post this question the immediate response is below and it never changes)
2284: you dont even know me anymore? wow..
Katscan: Ohh you got hacked
2284: im not hacked!
Katscan: Then who is this?
Katscan: Where did we meet?
2284: you should see if you can do better than me... //iqtestingwso2.com/?invitecode=2z18tkd7c1 if u can ill give you twenty dollars lol
2284: try beating me... I bet you cant haha
2284: take it now while I take a shower lol
2284: ill be back in a few after im all fresh
2284: BRB, let me know your score when im back!

My ' Norton Anti-Virus ', has been eliminating tracking cookies.
Sometimes it is only a few.
At the most, 6 or 8 trackers are disposed of.

The email has been reasonably safe.
Junk mail and spam, is wiped out immediately.
Have not come across, any viruses and trojans as yet.

GOOD WORK :thumb: Most people wont be as cautious. I hate hackers (bad ones)/spammers. Not to jack this thread, but I had an email from my bank that wanted me to renenter my debit card # to establish something, rather. I went ahead and inputed all BOGUS info for fisrt and last name I put curse words and address I put other mean stuff. In the credit card # info, I cursed instead of #'s. The rest of the form I went ahead and followed suite. In the end it asked to verify everything I input and thanked me in the curse word I put in.

This is why I don't use Yahoo, and haven't for a LONG time!
Now....for something completely different: for those of you having trouble with email, may I suggest getting Mailwasher. Do a Google on it, and I think you'll love what it does. Since I've been using it (5 years now), I've never.....and I mean never............had a problem with email.

I've been getting those for a while on AIM and Facebook. A friendly message to them to... well, clean the mess up, is a frequent response. :lol:

I've been getting so much AIM spam lately. I'm about ready to drop using the protocol entirely as it seems a whole 17 people still use the thing.

The really upsetting thing is that people overwhelmingly use Facebook IM as a substitute. That thing's garbage in my eyes...
