I was talking to some weird guy on aim. I don't know who he was, but he never introduced himself. He started telling all these racist jokes and I demanded that he told me who he was. He then sed he was sending me key logging virus. But there is nothing to be found besides the fact that he told me he would do so. I thought you had to open a link to get a keylogging virus. So am i safe and he was just making up stuff to scare me. Oh yeah i called apple and they said 99% of the time its on a Pc and someone has to open a link containing the virus in order to get one. there was no link to be found. and it was through an aim chat. so idk how he could do it, and i doubt he did at this point. because I did not open up any thing besides clicking on the approve button to approve the chat with him. At first he said yo, So i approved it, he then told me the stupid joke and thats how it all started. like i said, I didn't click on any links either. If you guys know who this guy is, and his screen name is iharryxd. he told me he knew me from youtube or something or bps net please help me. and if you know of any software that i can download to prevent this that would also be great.
Oh and he did say he was just joking towards the end of the conversation. but i am really suspicious. because after that he logged off. Or blocked me idk. Please help!
I need you on this one nate, or anyone really savvy with computers

I'm guessing you're fine. I work at IT for my college and my bet is that he was simply messing with you. As far as programs that will block key loggers, I couldn't tell ya...

Don't sweat it though...

I just got an email message from 'javier torres". it was all in spanish. I deleted it. And it had some attachments on it. SKETCHY!!!

[Nate]

so you were on iChat?

[Patrick Long]

dude, didnt you just post your AIM name on a thread here. You ever think somone was just messin with you?


Jumpin to a pretty large conclusion here.

First off he is blowing smoke up your arse. you cannot send a keylogger through an im unless its attached to something that is downloadable such as images or websites that download straight to your internet cache and cookies. secondly those who tell you they did it are full of crap and actually can't do anything. a hacker/phisher will not tell you what he is doing or has done due to the fact it is a federal offense to knowing infect or hack someones computer. i see this stuff all of the time from young kids that think they can scare people with BS remarks or threats of hacking. i program and code software and have made a few play toys for such people that does phish for others information but an actual persay hacker? lol trust me you have no worries at all and if you do think something could be done then i suggest getting a free version of spybot search and destroy which is used to clean any spyware keyloggers and malware and also if you do not have a anti virus/firewall installed on your computer then get one unless you have a firewall built into your router.

Can you post a link to it? I looked up spybot. I saw the site. But it looks like its for pc's. is there one for macs?

[xanaxez]

let me look for it and if i find it for mac ill post you the link.

[xanaxez]

actually spybot isnt compatible with any version of mac at this time. what you can do is go to google.com and type in (spyware removing software for mac os) and it will give you a list of what software is available for the mac os software. if you cant find a free version then just let me know and i can get you one.
