    not them,

    someone has clearly submitted my site to some sort of spammers get together except ive looked the door no one can gain access unless i click a button theres even a message saying so but they still sign up anyway. Weird really cos the message on the front door says send me an email but they seem to think its not real..?????

    freaks
  • Nelly, you havent got any spam bot deterants over there.

    You need one of those things where you have to type in a sequence of numbers/letters and there is a new one out called a humanizer where it asks the question are you human, the bots dont often know how to do this one yet if they can get past the other one.

    Both should be available on a VB hacks board.

    spammer :::: Reported ......to Vic
  • Sub7 is a Trojan Horse doing more than just email damage.

    Allows you to flip their screen, switch their mouse buttons, open their CD Rom drive, browse, edit and delete files, turn system volume off, turn off the screen, do the 'matrix' thing to another computer (when neo wakes up and sees the green scrolling text), send files to their computer, edit registry, use them to ping other people, yep - email bombing, keylogger, screen shot taker, computer shutdown/restart, and much more. That list was all from the top of my head ;):p

    It's a nice prank to play with a friend, but can become malicious if you do it to a stranger, with the intent of stealing files/information!

    Remember that any email address a spammer lists as sending from will almost certainly be fake, and they'll probably be using a botnet to relay the spam, so if you try to attack them you'll most probably just attack some unsuspecting user whose computer is already crawling with viruses and trojans.
