|
Answer» just got this e-mail from a friend but she NEVER sent it she's in hospital , it's the 2nd one the same , could McAfee SiteAdvisor Quote how can she stop it happening Probably nothing; her contact list has been copied. The email is almost certainly not from her email account; her address has been "spoofed". She should check her PC for viruses and trojans though or it will happen more. you dont need to see the link its in the mail i know its spam what i want to know is , how did they copy her list , how did they get in , how can she stop itQuote from: harry 48 on September 01, 2009, 03:58:52 PM you dont need to see the link its in the mail The mail which you posted, complete with link to spam site. Don't roll your eyes at me. Why is a clickable link to a spam site in your post? Quote i know its spam Then do something about it like editing your post otherwise you are a spammer what i want to know is , Quote how did they copy her list They sent her a virus in an email, probably. Quote how did they get in She probably opened an email with a virus in it. Or they hacked Hotmail. This thing is all over Hotmail at the moment. Quote how can she stop it She can't. They've already got her contact list. But she should run a virus check. By the way, so should you. They may have yours as well now!

I would like to introduce you a very good company and its website is www.............. It can offer you all kinds of electronic products that you may be in need,such as laptops ,gps ,TV LCD,cell phones,ps3,MP3/4,motorcycles and etc........ You can take some time to have a check ,there must be something interesting you 'd like to purchase . The contact email: ....................................... .................... Phone: ..................................... Hope you can enjoy yourself in shopping from that company ! Regards i forgot i got this back last night and she never set her pc to do this Spam can come from a million places...signing up for an online offer...providing info on your e-mail address etc..... I wouldnt say someone has stolen her IP address rather that she has been compromised because of her browsing habits... She can always set up a new e-mail account and be more careful in the future...ok UNDERSTAND that , is there a tool to check for rouge keyloggers i have 1 in my pc but i put it there and its fine |
