DON'T download the new version of ICQ! - GoFuckYourself.com

ldinternet · 03-27-2002, 02:58 PM

what a bunch of fucking horsecock suckers they are over at icq.

i downloaded the new icq, thinking it would be an improvement over the old one. ya know... faster loading, better security, etc.

now i find that this is worse than a virus.

they changed my outlook settings without my consent and i have yet to find a way to change back. now everytime i want to compose a new message, i get this shit automatically inserted:

maybe i should just burst into their head office with a shotgun.

does anyone have any idea on how to get rid of this crap without uninstalling this virusware from my system? please?

Jesus, thats bullshit that they'd do that

03-27-2002, 03:08 PM

Dude, are you on shit ?

format c:

I got the same version of ICQ and it didn't change anything.

shen_kid · 03-27-2002, 03:08 PM

that's why i am still using icq99b

Paul -C- · 03-27-2002, 03:18 PM

I have that version as well and it didn't touch any of my settings outside ICQ.

ldinternet · 03-27-2002, 03:21 PM

found the problem

(icq virusware 2002 a)

now excuse me, but i DID NOT ask for my outlook settings to be changed!

Nevermind

Use Trillian.

That looks like a .sig file being inserted. Open Outlook Express and go to tools:options:signatures and see whether there are any signatures in the signatures box on that page. If there are, there is a remove button there you can click to remove their spam.

May not fix you up, but is worth a try.

Whoops, you beat me to it. Good work!

B.Diker · 03-27-2002, 03:48 PM

thanks for this info
maybe someone will need it in the future.

Bigdogg · 03-27-2002, 03:50 PM

I download it..

I just remove sign.

ldinternet · 03-27-2002, 04:03 PM

haha!

whoever just hit me with that bot... do you think i'm really stupid enough to even reply to it?

TheFLY · 03-27-2002, 04:08 PM

Screw Outlook ;)

I'm still wondering how to remove banners from iCQ...?

I tried Trillian but I totally missed the awesome "history" functions of ICQ -- I got so so many conversations saved back from years ago -- really helps me to recover old URL's, phone #'s, etc. etc. when I get a new idea... now I'm a little worried that history is too large though because my ICQ is loading very slow...

Trillian has history also, and better then icq's

It opens a text file for the history so you can find things much faster.

no doubt . . . . you really have to wonder when they start designing viruses and worms specifically for an e-mail program, yet people keep on using it.

Hey, while I am here, is anyone interested in winning free content from such people as AMPCONTENT , MAXPIXELS, SOBEGIRL , SEXCONTENTS , FETISHBROKERS , or free ad space at SEX.COM ? You can, with nothing more required than registering to play.

Coming soon.
