rkt Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I received a gaim mesg that said "take a look here http://www.buddylinks.net/night_raptor/" from one of my buddies... i clicked on the link and it took me to this site that seemed like a game page... after a few min he posted a warning saying not to click on that site and that it could have been spyware or a virus... he's using windows and i'm using gentoo... so do I also have that virus now?.... I dont seem to notice any weird things... i cleared my cache and everything after clicking it... it didnt seem to load anything... click on that link at ur own risk....

markwolfe Veteran Posted February 12, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 12, 2004 If it is that yellow-backgrounded thing (is "backgrounded" even a word?) then you are safe. It is an ad. Spam. Lies. Deception. Most of the internet scams are set up to catch the simple-minded and the Windows users. (I will leave my comments at that, without elaborating on any possible connections) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not even sure if wine supports viruses and worms... I think you would have to install IE and OE first. ;) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
