    A friend of mine called me today asking my help.
    She said that someone added her on yahoo messenger and said that he could see all her computer drive files.
    He also sent her a full chat season she just made with her cousin !

    I told her that her cousin herself can be the one who scammed her.
    but I'm still not sure, what do you guys think?

    I said "for more information" not "for instructions" ! There is always a way how you can get things rolling ( what I need is your IP .. the rest of the process is easy ) :p
    How to get your IP ? 2 seconds of scanning for active connections & a bit of /pinging/ .. :cool:

    I don't want to promote anything, but - no, you don't need to save anything :)
    That's why I recommend to use a good firewall instead of anti-virus !
