Well, they may be telling the truth or not, if you want to take precautions, change your password now.

But I doubt it

RE: hacking possibility> by Voldemort on 01-06-2007 at 10:24 PM

No. the name registered in your passport, as its another way to recover the password

RE: hacking possibility> by Chris4 on 01-06-2007 at 10:54 PM

Remember what you've set it to. Like you've changed your secret question & answer, your name and stuff. Remember it, write it down or something. Hide it away, don't lose it You might need it in the future.

RE: hacking possibility> by Rolando on 01-06-2007 at 11:08 PM

Dont go into some random website and type your password?

RE: hacking possibility> by GiantSpider on 01-06-2007 at 11:09 PM

Check the url of every website you go on to make sure it is what it seems.

Not always right, but most often when it comes to spyware sites.

Apart from MsgPlus...Plus! isn't spyware anyway...

Only cause of the adware. And that's only cause people moan to them about it being affiliated with adware(well they say spyware ¬¬)

And hardly matters cause it's optional 8-)

RE: hacking possibility> by Chocolatino on 01-07-2007 at 08:09 PM

RE: hacking possibility> by ryxdp on 01-07-2007 at 09:20 PM

no.
It catalogs the optional sponsor in plus based on other programs that work with Circle Dev, It is cataloged badly, without testing.

RE: hacking possibility> by ryxdp on 01-07-2007 at 11:15 PM

RE: hacking possibility> by Voldemort on 01-08-2007 at 12:08 AM
