Replies dirty paws Posted at 7:37 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 ok so it probably isnt true. what a relief. my computer is acting normal too. Jay JWLH Posted at 7:12 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 I would not believe any of it. Plain and simple. How he would get hold of something like that, I don't know, but I don't think he really would have. None of it does sound logically possible. This is just a bluff, and you should ignore it. These sort of things are used to scare users who don't know too much about computers, just like the emails that scam you by saying something happened to your banking account, and takes you to their fraud site to fix it up (which means you insert your banking details). Random Access Memory (RAM), isn't that important. It gets written over and over again all of the time when you are opening and closing applications. When it fills up, it moves onto the hard drive (called page file memory), which can result in slower speeds when you do things with applications sometimes. I think he should have just stuck with Read Only Memory (ROM) instead, because although it is meant to be read only, it is still possible to be written over, and you will have to take it back to the manufacturer to reprogram. As for the erasing of the Hard Drive (HDD), I seriously doubt it. You would have easily noticed a program that bad already. If you want, scare him back by saying that you are sorry for annoying him, and that he has to stop it from making your computer going seriously screwed up (make up details). That might scare him, and force him to say it wasn't true. Thr0wn Posted at 7:03 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 Bullshit. Trust me, pure BS. Write back an email with some techy shit like "That's funny, I just sent you the exact same thing! Only mine was infected with the stealthed TOI virus! Cool, looks like great minds think alike! Well, I guess not. Mine isn't eating your HD, it's meerly giving me access to everything on your computer and logging your keystrokes... but there is this funky "melt harddrive" feature that looks interesting." I'm sure that would scare him ;) Or, better yet, you can even make it believable. "That's funny, I gave you something similar a short while back!  I infected your computer with a stealthed version of Poision Ivy awhile ago! What a nifty little R.A.T.!  Cool, looks like great minds think alike! Well, I guess not. Mine isn't eating your HD, it's meerly giving me access to everything on your computer and logging your keystrokes... but there is this funky "melt harddrive" feature that looks interesting." That one would work, since Poision Ivy is an actual R.A.T. trojan and would make it believable ;) dirty paws Posted at 7:00 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 Quote: from Jibbles at 6:56 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 yeh it BS.  send him back an equally BS email.   hey ok what should i say? Jibbles Posted at 6:56 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 yeh it BS.  send him back an equally BS email.   Annieooo Posted at 6:53 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 oh BULL. give him some crap. Call the freaking cops. hawaiianpunc591 Posted at 6:51 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 i dont that a teen would be able to program such a virus, with a resolution also. if he is a teen, i dont know! Too Imaginative Teen Posted at 6:50 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 Delete the e-mail. He's doing it like in the movies. Like occean's eleven for example. Brad Pitt calls the guy who owns all the casinos and tells him he's just stealing 100 million dollars from him. It's just dramatic. I bet it took him 10 minutes to write that message. BrokenBelief Posted at 6:49 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 Bluff.  Does your boyfriend spend a lot of time programming computers?  If not he probably doesn't know how to send you a virus.  Besides, you can't get viruses from reading text, you would've had to download an autorun program. spongehead Posted at 6:49 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 No hes just trying to scare you Charolastra Posted at 6:48 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 If you're using even a decent reliable email client, chances are you haven't contracted a virus. And you can always check for viruses with a free virus scan program available online. porcelain Posted at 6:48 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 Sorry man, you're screwed. Actually. I don't really know... but I honestly doubt it. RizZosOcTaNe Posted at 6:48 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 lol no, they would never tell you its going on.  He is trying to get in your head, but dont open anything. katie182lizabeth Posted at 6:47 pm on Sep. 1, 2006 might be...but in my opinion it sounds fake.
