Edited by mod--- removed URL from offending site

I got spam in my spambox today, from a website that says: "We can upload any virus/trojan to any computer" I haven't opened the e-mail because they could have a receipt attached and this will notify them that my e-mail account is active, thus I will get more spam. Is this even legal - to advertise a site that sends trojans/viruses to computers?

hmm why don't you actually use your brains and stop to think for a second.

How did they get your email? You obviously signed up for something with a site requiring you to enter your e-mail, or something to that extent.

Long story short most sites get allot of money for forwarding e-mails to companies that like to spam about their site / product... and wolla

I use 3 e-mail accounts one for personal use, one for business, and finally but not least the last one is used for signing up for to things that require an e-mail address. E.g. (TGC)

Some analysis for you guys:
Personal Account - Medium spam level from people joining things like Bebo GOD I HATE THEM!
Business Account - No spam ever gotten
The Sign up account - Over 100 pages of spam...

wouldn`t that strain your eyes?, peering at icon sized porn images?.

best bet is to keep doing the rounds of free email providers (like hotmail) and creating new accounts to sign up, then let em lapse when they get overspammed and make a new one, this works until you lose a password to some site or other and try to retrieve it

Talking of porn sites, (please don't take this the wrong way) Does anyone know of any REALLY BIG porn sites (big as in massively well known, with LOTS of money)??? - This is a serious question - information I need for one of my latest DBP projects.

EDIT: I will post this under a new thread - it doesn't belong here (sorry).

There were a few (I think 2, but I'm not sure) 'viruses' floating around the mac world about a week ago. If I remember correctly, neither were actual viruses, as they required the user to activate them, which made them trojans. I don't know much about viruses/trogans/worms etc so that might not be exactly right, but it was something along those lines.

If I did get anything on my mac it's a simple matter of backing up and reinstalling. A lot easier then it would be on pc because a) My ibook seems to keep itself really well organised, all the pics in one folder, music in another, apps in another etc and b) It's only a 40gb HD, so less to backup in the first place.

Just as a note, you typically know when you sign up for spam... I have hundreds of email accounts (even though I forgot alot) but still use a main account for most sign ups... I hardly get spam... now if I sign up for some stupid site named "pornmeup.com" course your gonna get spamed!

Lock this thread it's offensive and against terms of service. Of course it's illegal it's like asking "is killing by buddy Bill illegal" or hiring an assassin or somethin'.
