Hi,
Just a question for you computer guru's out there...
I've started playing UO a bit more regularly again, and met some new people online. I've added some of these new people I met to my ICQ, albeit not fully trusting some of them.
Now, I'm an idiot when it comes to computers and such so please don't laugh. What are the chances of people hacking into my computer directly through ICQ (or any other instant messengers)? Like, not by sending me a camouflaged exe file for me to click on, but just directly through ICQ by my simply being logged in.
Oh, and just an extra bit of info... I have antivirus and firewall set up all the time.
Cheers.
