Don't Fear the Retro Posts: 1,466 Group: Hospital Director Member #31 Joined: 01/03/07 Gender: Male ♂	To those who "I" IMed you on AIM, was NOT me. I had gotten a virus on AIM and it started PMing people on my buddy list. I AM VERY VERY SORRY!!! I currently have the word SHAME written all over me. If anyone has clicked on the link, get out of AIM and scan your computer. Once again I apologize to everyone who has gotten a message. Yell at me all you want, I deserve much worse. :( :( :( :(

But to warn everyone in the future, watch out for this! I hate for your guys' computer to be infected!! >o< I don't use myspace nor do I use AIM, so luckily I'm not in danger :D Btw, since I installed Kaspersky Anti Virus, i have had no virus or anything of the kind here. It's excellent. Wikipedia; Quote: Kaspersky Lab is a computer security company, co-founded by Eugene Kaspersky in 1997, offering antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and anti-intrusion products. Kaspersky Lab is a privately held company headquartered in Moscow, Russia with regional offices in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Japan, China, Korea, USA. In 2005, Red Herring magazine listed Kaspersky among "Red Herring 100 Europe", a selection of the 100 private companies in Europe and Israel that play a leading role in innovation and technology. According to AV-Comparatives, Kaspersky Anti-Virus (formerly known as AntiViral Toolkit Pro) rates highly amongst virus scanners in terms of detection rates. In 2006 Kaspersky Anti-Virus was ranked second, and was the recipient of the TopTenReviews Gold Award. In addition, Kaspersky has passed all Virus Bulletin comparative tests since August 2003. According to PC World, Kaspersky antivirus software provides the fastest updates for new virus and security threats in the industry.[1] Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine also powers products or solutions by other security vendors, such as Check Point, Bluecoat, Juniper Networks, Sybari (now acquired by Microsoft), Netintelligence, GFI Software, F-Secure, Borderware, Frontbridge, G-Data, Netasq and others. The only problem is if you have a very slow computer, in that case, Kaspersky can cause major slowdowns. But it's certainly flawless in terms of security. It refreshes its virus database around once per 3 hours, it scans every elemt loading on the net, it detects and blocks spyware every time that shit wants to get in your PC (i.e. every five minutes), and I don't know, overall, it's excellent.

Lucky Member #7 Posts: 881 Group: Subordinate Member #7 Joined: 05/17/06	I hate to say it, but things like this is nothing new. I use to get hit with attempts to hijack my account even after my days on AO-Hell. Because 9 out of 10 IMs were scams and hack attempts, I went ahead and changed my AIM name. Overall, it really comes down to knowing who you're talking to, and knowing where files come from. There are also so-called stealth attacks which piggyback on the ads, incoming IMs, and people's info. Some internet pages can also carry these things, and are often linked with offers too good to be true (i.e. spam). Regular scans with the latest diffinition files can help, though you'd want to use a scanner you can trust.
