What would you do if.....?  |
|
I just noticed i had a request from someone to be a friends and as usual the first thing I did was to checkhis profile. It opened to loud music and an alert that my system generated to alert me that this site was connected to a spy site. Now my system is automaically running checks. I beleive it is connected to the site that he is getting his music from. Should I report it to myLot or should accept his friends offer and go back into his profile and send him a message telling him off the problem? If I go back into his profile I will open myself up again to potential spyware trouble. What would you do?

1. smacksman (3061) | 5 months ago | Turn my sound down! haha If you have anti-spyware running then I wouldn't worry too much and accept him as a friend and then message him to advise him of what's happening. Some anti-spyware is a bit over sensative and throws a wobbly at innocent cookies.

3. desertdarlene (5547) | 5 months ago | I know for me, I would probably not accept his friend's request unless I see that he has started some pretty good discussions. I think you are very admirable for not wanting to get him in trouble wanting to tell him directly instead of reporting him. But, I wonder if he meant to have that music box with the spyware there? For me, because I don't know him, I would wonder that. And, for that, I would probably alert Mylot to it, instead. If they want to deal with it, then it's would be theirs to deal with.

whiteheather39 (10072) | 5 months ago | I did not accept his request (better safe than sorry) I probably would not have accepted it anyway as he had hundred of friends and was a teenageager from India so we did not have much, if anything, in common.
| |
|
|
desertdarlene (5547) | 5 months ago | Yeah, I had a similar request last night on both here and another site. I have gotten a little pickier about who I accept as friends because I'm tired of seeing discussions on my friends lists that are useless to me.

whiteheather39 (10072) | 5 months ago | Made a mistake he is a 23 year old male from the Philippines. I did check his profile again a few minutes ago to answer one of his discussions and let him know of the problem that way. The alert popped up again and it is from his music (Lyrics Download.co m) so now my computer is once again running an automatic scan.

6. billionaire5 (836) | 5 months ago | Well, I would not report him to mylot because he may not be aware that this site has spyware on it. I would check my computer security program to make sure my computer would not be damage and I would send a private message letting him know that he is endanger his computer and possibly others when they visit his profile. Now if he knows and is willingly endangering others I would report him.

whiteheather39 (10072) | 5 months ago | I did run a scan and everything seems OK. I decided not to accept him only to delete him after sending the message.

whiteheather39 (10072) | 5 months ago | That is an excellent idea I have his name so I will respond to one of his discussions and let him know and that way I will not be asking for trouble. Thank You!

whiteheather39 (10072) | 5 months ago | Thought you may be interested to see what I posted. I did check his site to find a discussion athe alert came up again and it is from his music (Lyrics Download. com). "I am responding to your discussion as a means of contacting you without having to go into your profile. I received a friends request from you and went into your profile to check you out and I immediately got an alert warning me that your profile by using "Lyrics Download .com" for your LOUD music is a threatening website related to spyware. I feel it is only fair to let you know and give you a chance to remove it or I shall have to report you to myLot admin," Minnie What do you think?
| |
|
|
minnie_98214 (3904) | 5 months ago | I say that sounds fair. I would hope he would remove it from his site. Youre doing him a favor as someone will end up reporting him eventually at least this way he can take care of it without mylot being involved.

8. gmwgreat (267) | 5 months ago | i never faced a problem like that, but if i were in your place, i will accept his friend request and then i will send him a message about what happened, if he is not willing to remove the link that makes all the trouble then i realize that he is trying to spy those who view his profile, and then i will report to mylot about everything, spying is stealing someones information (identity theft), so be care full on each of your steps, may be he sent you a friend request in purpose, happy mylotting!!

10. munhozmib (1694) | 5 months ago | Hello, Whiteheather. Hmm... So, there are dangerous profiles here at myLot, eh? Are you sure that it was giving out spywares? Because it sounds so strange! Out of the blue, spywares advancing through your computer! You're lucky and smart to have the Anti-Spyware turned on. Since you have it on, why don't you mail the member? You won't be risking yourself, knowing that the Spyware will protect you from anything that tries to damage your computer. Won't it? Respectfully, Munhozmib.

whiteheather39 (10072) | 5 months ago | I have had a couple of weird things happen from myLot. A few months back I had a troll who had been stalking me and would go into all my discussions and make nasty and idiotic remarks. Then to my shock I went into a few of my personal online site, including my banking and this person's myLot ID flashed on the screen for just a few second . I did notify myLot and he was removed from myLot and I had to change all my important passwords.
| |
|
|
munhozmib (1694) | 5 months ago | What an awful experience! I'm glad that myLot has serious people working behind their computers, removing every nocive member. And I hope you got rid of him.
