Well this vote is useless since Black(The Junkster)Pit is the master mind behind all internet flooding ;)

I can't be the only one to get SPAM messages from ICQ every 5 minutes can I? E-mail messages I can understand, but instant messenger programs is pretty unbelievable. I now remember why I rarely use the program.

How many people have got the email from the guy in Nigeria looking for a bank account to put $1,000,000 into? All you have to do is send him your bank account info. :roll: I get that one at least once a month. :evil:

I ended up uninstalling ICQ, but there was plenty of spam. I actually unistalled it because the data file was getting bigger and bigger and when I emptied it it got even bigger. ICQ tech reckoned I might have virus, but I couldn't find anything.
Profiles are the problem, on AOL I get 4 or 5 spam emails a day and probably about 1 IM every 2 hours online with mitsubishiuk, but nothing with macabrepursuit, just the occasional email, where I don't have a public profile.
And there's nothing funny about using AOL outside the US or otherwise, changing soon anyway now other companies are offering decent unlimited access.

Although I do hate SPAM email, I think my most hated Internet SPAM is a popup window. And no, not just any popup window. It is tied between two:[list87efe][*87efe]The ad for that stupid micro X-cam, or whatever it is.
[*87efe]The grey blank window with the text "You have 1 message waiting" and an "OK" button[/list87efe]
I seem to get one of these two popups no matter when I go, and I hate them more than most things. :evil:

That University Degree thing has ripped off hundreds of hotmail addresses and now I get at least 2 emails a day from it :x . Today I had 25 new messages and only 1 wasn't spam :evil: .
