Okay so, have you ever got complaints from your MSN Messenger’s friend saying you are sending them SPAM messages or Viruses but you have tried tons of wares scanner, antivirus scanner and to find no virus on your PC at all ? Well, your friends are not accusing you for nothing but its neither your fault also on not trying to stop that because you simply not aware of it and you basically never get your friends’ complaint messages because most of the time “You” sending out those spam is when you are offline and having a sweet dream. Yes, you didn’t read wrongly, you are basically spamming your friends on the contact list after you log off… even when you friend reply you telling you what happen, you will eventually never receive those offline message because “someone else” already receive those for you.
So, what actually happened ? If you try to dig into your memory, you probably recall that you once click on an URL that say you can sign in to check “Who has blocked you in MSN Messenger” and you proceeds to sign in with your Legimate MSN login.. bam.. you give away your Login information to that site and they steal your MSN Login and helps you to online when you are actually in offline… and the nightmare begins. ( More like Nightmares for your friends in your contact list because you never knew you spam them and your friends are frustrated of your spam messages ) I personally have blocked some of my friends because they kept spamming me everyday and not taking actions to solve it.
How do you solve this ? You failed to capture this with any of the antivirus softwares or spywares scanners because it is not a virus or spyware. Surprisingly, the solution is very simple and straight forward. Change and updates your Password for your hotmail. ( MSN Lives uses the same password for your MSN, hotmail, Live Spaces, Messenger ). They will not be able to login to your account to Spam anymore. Do take this seriously, think about this. If they can login to your Messenger to Spam, what can they do with your emails, your blogs, your msn account that kept a lot of your personal stuff. This is a Identity Theft and not just any Virus / Spyware.
So, do yourself a favor and do your friends a favor. If you friend tell you that you are spamming them.. they really meant it and it is time for you to change your password.
