Monday, October 18, 2004

Another BOT sent me a message this morning:

            on the net? And do you like to chat whit tusind other chatters?
            Then i have a FREE offer for you.. Allredy 87.000 players online..
[10:28] Laila*: no thanks.
[10:28] 297384594: okay, i½m sorry then.. Have a nice day.
[10:28] Laila*: yes

[10:29] 297384594: You can get a FREE version of Icq Games here:

butterfly Let me know you were here, your thoughts are welcome!

Thank you, Rutty, I will try to remember that...

Never, ever open these files Laila. They're either going to be virii, trojans or some other thing that they're trying to get you to open that might cause damage to your PC. It may well be a harmless ICQ addon, but don't ever take that risk.

Never open files from unknown sources, even if they're human.

My concern is not about bots but the files the bots want us to download. I feel sorry for those innocent people using the net who might be victimized by these malicious messages from 'bots'...
