[QUOTE="Martin , post: 794383, member: 65636"] Don't ever respond to those kind of emails....by doing so, you give them your IP adress and lets them know they reached a 'live' email address. As with yahoo email, you can click "Full Headers" and see exactly where an email originated from, etc. I have a buddy that can hack into just about anyone's pc.....one method he uses is sending a pix....buried within that pix there is a nasty pgm that loads into your PC without you even knowing it. Once the pgm is installed, he has it automaticly execute.....it gathers info stored on your puter and sends the info back to him. Virus protection, firewalls do nothing, because you accepted the email and opened it. He doesn't do this to steal ppl's stuff, he did it because he wanted to know if he could as a hobby. He used to work for the FBI :) As with something like this and others, they tell you to not open an email unless you know the person or company that sent it to you. [/QUOTE]
