Beware Of *FAKE* Emails From MegaGames[Please Read]

Discussion in 'MGF Announcements' started by Vile, Feb 14, 2004.

  1. You don't have an MG Email address either. That's mostly who this thread is direct towards.

    Do you really think email is the only way to get a virus? If you go online at all, you're vulnerable regardless of the fact that you are running Mac OS, on a pice of crap Alienware. (yes, Alienware blows and targets newbies who don't know how to build their own system)
  2. Actually, I always found their laptops great. They serve a very unique purpose.

    However, shortly before I left them, Alienware became a very TERRIBLE, sold-out company who marketed themselves well with their awful-looking cases.

    And yes, everyone is vulnerable on the internet, but as a side note, some operating systems are better protected than others. He sure is vulnerable, regardless. Jagpanzer is much LESS likely to get a virus though, seeing that he doesn't use Windows - most viruses are written for Windows, and therefore Windows users will see the most virus problems.

    No anti-virus software for that alienware? A gaming machine? I'd highly recommend some sort of protection. I know of people getting nasty trojans and viruses through Counter-Strike! If you're on a broaband connection, then people will try to send stuff to you all the time. Hopefully you have a well-encrypted router with a good firewall :)
  3. How little or how much is irrelevant. The reality that it can happen is the point. Either way, the purpose of this thread is to inform people of the events going on, so don't turn this into another everyone vs microsoft thread.
  4. True, theres so damn many of these things now and you can get them in a split second as soon as your connected online.


    if you dont have any anti viral programs installed then how do you know you dont have any viruses?
  5. thanks for the info vile, and yes u cant tell if u got a virus or not if u dont have a virus scaning program

  9. thanks, will watch out for these.
  10. thanks very much
  11. Er.....This thread is quite old... I dont think we have this problem anymore... ;)
  12. So I'm NOT banned from the forum? Whew...
  13. Huh? i didnt get any emails? thats good then i guess :D
  14. Only e-mails I got from this forum were people who decided to message me in that form. I think that's a really stupid feature (that's what PMs are for). Anyway, I would vote to remove that feature. I would put my e-mail address on the same page as my significant other, I don't really want it getting around :nono:
  15. you should post a thread on that in the "forum Feedback" section and see what Vile has to say about it
  16. Good idea ... thread started here ;)
