It has come to my attention that I was attacked by my friend on AIM, sent me an unknown link for me to click on. But it wasnn't my friend's fault, it was the bot! Someone uses the bot on my friend's account to send fraud messages and/or spamming sites to visit. people, if you've been IMed by your friend, showing a link to it, DO NOT CLICK! It contains an .exe harmful program, and you don't want that to happen!

I've informed so many people about this same matter, being careful about clicking links sent by friends over messenger networks. Hopefully, this topic will teach people that things that appear to be sent by friends aren't always trustworthy.

And as well, I have noticed the difference to it. If your friend is idling away, good, it's currently away from the computer. But you will notice that it keeps Iming you. It's a bot! Try and immediately close AIM at all times and try entering back in, it will workthat way on some inconsiderate threat.

You know what, those darn bots. I myself became victim to something similar, like bot, that sent me a link, and so I clicked it. But it wasn't on AIM though, it was on MSN.

Worry. I recieved one in an email. It slowed down my computer, giving me a virus which I soon deleted by buying a virus deletion program. Careful.

if there's somethin comin' up without any attention (whatever if it is a zip file or exe) I always ask my pal on the other side what it is before I download it.
Think bout' it 2 forwardly.

This is not all about website spam. It's also about using words as spam, like getting your attention of what a person wants to do. Or also, making an inaccurate grammar speech, which I find it so annoying. What's gonna happen is what the criminal will input the bot of what's it gonna do or whatever.
