From what I'm thinking I'm guessing it's because yahoo.com doesn't seem as up to date as yahoos in other languages. Perhaps if he used Yahoo England this could solve the problem.

Any Good Pop3 Email Clients

Looking for some --- Help appreciated (3)

I was wondering if any of you guys knew of any good pop email clients. I recently signed up for a
pop client, but I was wondering what the best client was. People say Outlook is full of bugs and
freezes constantly. I am told that open source is the way to go. I'm not familiar with any open
source pop clients. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. I am running
Windows XP. QUOTE Thanks, magical1492 No "sign - offs, please add it to your sig block

Using Your Email To Send Spam

What exactly do they call those things? (10)

I was happily browsing the web so I decided to check my Yahoo! email. I got like 4 emails that were
bounced back by Mail-Daemon. Apparently, I had tried to send this spam mail to some MSN groups!? It
was bounced back to me because I had to be a member of that group to send emails. (Whew!)

Fake Paypal Email Messages

take a look and be aware (19)

I have seen posts about what kind of messages are out there fooling members to give up private
information--especially when PayPal sent you one. Oh no! No way, PayPal address cannot be faked.
Wrong. I almost gave away my entire personal information about 3 years ago. And the fake messages
are getting better and better. Even the site that links to looks too real. So I decided to share
this with you, in hopes that no one from TRAP17 are suckered into giving up what is private
information. PS I know everyone knows this but let's spread the word and see how many more we....

Email Clients

Which One Do You Trust For Security? (23)

Many people don't care about email account security and just go for a Hotmail account because
it's automatically MSN compatible or a Gmail account because it has lots of space. But out of
those of you who choose your email based on safetey and security, which client do you recommend?
There are tons out there. Personally, I use GMX.net, it's a German service with extremely high
security. They have a password meter to check your password for how easy or hard it might be to
guess, encouraging you to use upper and lower case letters along with numbers. They veri....

Yahoo! Messenger vulnerability

(1)

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Yahoo! Messenger, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to a
combination of weak default directory permissions and the Audio Setup Wizard (asw.dll) invoking the
"ping.exe" utility insecurely during the connection testing phase. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of another user by placing a malicious "ping.exe" file in the
application's "Messenger" directory. Successful exploitation requires that a user runs th....

Windows Update Email Scam

its a trojen horse (8)

QUOTE A new scam by hackers has some people believing they are receiving an e-mail about a
critical update to Windows when in actuality they are installing a Trojan horse, Sophos said on
Friday. The e-mail directs victims to a fake version of the Windows Update site, where there are
links to download the malicious "patches." "The email uses the Microsoft branding and style so to
the casual observer it appears to be legitimate," Gregg Mastoras, Senior Security Analyst at Sophos,
told BetaNews. If users download the "patches," they are actually installing the Troj/DS....

Ebay Accounts Being Hijaked

Please share this with other eBayers (8)

Our son had his eBay account hijaked, yesterday. It took him almost a half day to get it sorted out.
A heads-up buyer got suspicious of an auction for a snowmobile requiring a $1,000 deposit, so he
found our son's phone # and called before paying. The listing did NOT belong to our son. Once
the perp got our son's eBay password, he also hacked his email account, which used the same
password. That took another half hour to sort out. This buyer told our son there has been a rash of
these hijakings, lately. Obviously eBay isn't as secure as we thought. If any ....
