Have any of you heard or experienced this type of scheme?
It seems that my friend’s hotmail address was hijacked by this YouShare.com site. From out of nowhere an IM was sent to me from her (although she was off-line and generally never uses her MSN IM).
Here’s the message I got (with the hotmail address changed, of course)
“I’ve been browsed a selfmade website for uploading good pics and movies.There are my video contents on my new blog, Just for fun.”
w w w. goldwindos2000 .com/blog.html?xxxxxx
(I broke the link above on purpose because you shouldn’t click it).
What also made this suspicious is that she’s a teacher and the English is, let us say, not too good.
Here’s what I found on McAfee’s site advisor:

“In our tests, we found downloads on this site that some people consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs.”
