Hi,
This is first time i’m posting here. After what happened , I searched until i found this site. I should take some time out and read it all.
While I was chatting with a friend , an IM from strange ID poped in my face.
It was weird ‘cos I never chat with strangers and I have never been in chat rooms before. this person keeps sending me IM when I’m on line with different ID’s , a bit similar with the same messege line.
I would really appreciate it if you helped me and tell me how to know if this person is spying on my computer.
Thanks
Another question , how do you know if this ID is not generated automatically. I have checked the profile on yahoo and it seems they have all been established same day when began sending me IM???
Is this in regard to the same issue you discussed in this thread? I assume it is, but if not let me know.
It could be one of your friends playing a joke on you.
Or maybe you registered somewhere(at a forum, for example) and posted your ID’s there and forgot all about it.
It also could be that someone looked up your ID (in ICQ and AIM, you can do a name search). Maybe it is from someone you know.amy_d_g wrote:Is this in regard to the same issue you discussed in this thread?

The Id’s are all on Yahoo! , I’m suspecting now that I have a spyware in my computer whose responsible of that as I’m supprised I get these kind of id’s sending messeges to all my ID’s even the private ones which I don’t use only among small circl of my friends.???
I’m really confused!
All what I receive is sites which I dont dare to open of course..
Any advice please!
Thanks

I never got into a forum with these ID’s!
what is ICQ and AIM and how can I do the name search , excuse my ignorance.
Can anyone tell me if there’s a possibility that someone could spy on our computer and watch what we are doing as watching TV and by that way they can know everything , our ID’s, the forum we use , our passwords????
If true, its dead scary!!!
Quit worrying, beinghacked.. Yes, it is possible to do all that.. but why would anyone want to hack YOU? Unless someone has a motive against you. And two, the “strange IM that popped in your face” is probably spam, to promote a porn site or any other website…- You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
