So does this mean, I could create a virus or worm, and attach a EULA that states it will take over your computer, open a port to allow hackers in, and email itself to every email address it can find, and drop itself into your Kazaa shared folder, and because the victims "agreed" to the terms, the AV companies won't recognize it as a virus? Sheesh... a worm is a worm, no matter how much sugar you pile on top of it...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9365733 Thu, 12 Feb 2004 07:49:27 EDT Re: Bye Bye http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9365726 alien9999999 : you could even try out gaim for instant messaging ( »gaim.sourceforge.net/ )

Its a spam message circulating on aim and people who get the message to click the website and download the game and proceed to download it without questioning infect themselves.This has happened on MS messenger and yahoo and can happen on trillian or ANY IM application in different forms too.
Do you download every spam email attachment you get? I hope not.Same thing.

"If users click on the link, a program that is supposedly a game asks permission to be downloaded and installed onto their computers. Installing the game gives the company that produces it -- purportedly, an outfit called PSD Tools -- permission to display ads on the users' computers. In addition, the software spreads the "fun links" to everyone on the users' Buddy Lists."

I only had AIM for Picture file transfers with friends. I very seldom use AIM, I use Trillian for my IM. ;)

This special phone cannot be hung up or turned off no matter how you try. It recieves calls every hour of the night and day from hundreds of different companies attempting to sell them something.
