Has Google.com Sent You Email?

[MusicChick]

For the past week or 2 I&#39;ve been getting email from google.com. The email doesn&#39;t have an attachment on them, just advertistments and links to webpages about shopping and other things. :lol: What I don&#39;t understand is how they got my email address. The last time I went to google to search for something, one of those porn popup ads popped up which I quickly closed, because I heard about that trojan happening when people when to google.com. I know that google.com shouldn&#39;t send email. This doesn&#39;t sound right to me. <_< Has anyone else got an email from them?

btw: They sent it to my yahoo address. <_<

I&#39;ve never heard of such a thing. Sounds like spyware or a trojan to me.

i am sure yahoo mail allows you to block mails. just block them

MusicChick........I do believe you&#39;ll need to run Spybot or Spysweeper ( freeware )and the for good measure Anti-Trojan Watch ( free to try ). :)

Spybot&#33; Search and Destroy&#33; (http://spybot.eon.net.au/index.php?lang=en&page=download)

Come to think about it.....j_b_r is right. If it&#39;s only tour web-based mail that&#39;s affected, you can add them to your blocked senders list and that&#39;ll be that. But it&#39;s always a good plan to have Spybot & Anti-Trojan anyway. ;)

;) hi all...theres another bewdy floating around ATM. E-mail from microsoft...delete it, do not open it...i know of 2 laptops that have been turned into real good door-stops because of this email, it doesnt seem to kill comps running windows95 though. where i work all email recipients on local intranet have been warned after we lost our recovery boilers from this prick being opened on 1 of the computers. my mums comp went down (win95) but we rescued it although others might be in the dark yet. BTW, this little cunt comes from tanzania, i spose if you cant eat, you might as well dream up something to ruin someone elses day... :angry:

4 points: U visited a site that captured ur email and sold it
U visited a site and checked google to send u info (while signing up for something)
ad/spy
someone knows ur browsing habbits (cookies, outsider, insider)

In addition to the ad/spy programs, follow this step HERE (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=64831&view=findpost&p=499791) then continue HERE (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=64831&view=findpost&p=567015). As i&#39;ve said in another topic, with Norton Internet Security 2004 + Sygate Personal Firewall Pro v5.1 + Spybot Search & Destroy Advanced + HOSTS file, I DO NOT GET ONE POPUP, AD, SPY, or whatever u wanna call them.
