German emails as described are the result of Zombie Computers infected with Sober Varients N, P, or Q, sending out spam that do not contain virus infected files, spouting Neo-Nazi Propaganda. Their however are still versions of the worm that are infected so be careful, also some of the link in the messages take to web-pages that have browse-by-download spyware that will jump onto your computer when you go to them.

nobody knows how to secure their systems these days...... *closes the window and sits in fortress*
The ultimate network security tool is a pair of scissors, unless you have wireless, of course.

if it did rip your e-mail address from the profile page... how is that SYs fault? bots scan pages and rip out strings with @ in them (or mailto links). it isn't insecure, you are for giving out your address, there's a very simple option in your profile: "Always show my e-mail address (yes/no)". guess which one equals no spam.

But quess what, I putted it to option -no. And put MSN account instead for contacts. :twisted: :twisted:

There would be no reason to even start this thread if it would been on "-yes, show my registration address."

And it's not SYs fault at all, the problem is in the people who spams to email addresses. They should be shot and after that, all would be going much faster than before. For now, spam is the majority thing which costs limited networking resources.

I remember there were some company who first invented a spam... Another who made the firsts viruses.

It's important to keep care from special and beautiful things, like nature, Internet and home. It's important to keep them clean.

actually the majority of internet traffic right now is being used by file sharing programs and bit-torrent... email just snarls up the mail servers... and if keeping my internet clean means I can't download anything then I'd rather have it dirty...

Is it? Then I must have got wrong information somewhere or my knowledge is unupdated.
