Warning to all AIM users. READ

If you recieve an IM from the aim account "Unixmad" I warn you, DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING HE SENDS YOU, it is NOT Unixmad. It will send you to a website that will cause you to open hundreds of outlook express programs or even crash. Easiest solution to fixing it if you click on it is ctrl alt delete. Choose whichever browser you used and end task.

If this is in the wrong section please move it.

This kind of thing falls along the same lines as AOL e-mailing you to click something pertaining to an update, or password database crap... quite obviously it's a scam of sorts, and people should really think twice about clicking a link from ANYONE they don't know on a day-to-day basis... especially one claiming to run any of the programs you use(because they would really personally contact you :/). If people would put even one second of thought process into something before they did it, this kind of crap wouldn't happen.

I do find it funny because people fall for this dumb ****. I can understand not everyone knows... but the problem is they walk away from being a victim of this, then go to their inbox and do the same exact thing again... they never learn from their mistakes. THAT is funny.

They should not have to, if clicking a link can get you in trouble it is a problem with the link-processing software you use rather than with clicking the link in the first place.

You still shouldn't... why would you?

Perhaps curiosity, or just to come to a more confident opinion on whether it is actually Unixmad?

Lol, I got an IM too. I've been posting on the forums again for a whole day now. That was faster than I expected.

I assume this cannot effect Linux users because we don't have outlook express?

I am guessing whatever this is would just start your email application instead.

Of course we cannot know for certain until someone actually posts the link

True, but who'd be that stupid and click on a link from a random person?

I am not afraid of random links.

Also you could just download the page and looking at what it does without executing the javascript or flash or whatever.
