Im not worried about getting infected....i have not problem with this....im
concerning about this: HotPOP.com is afected by Mytob worm . Im receiving
some messages from support@hotpop.com webmaster@hotpop.com with the known
subjects YOUR PASSWORD HAS SUCESFULLY CHANGED...among others. I configured
my OE to acccess to this account on HotPOP using the POP services this site
offers...but now that i know the site is afected by mytob i "tried" to save
my messages and save me in some way ...in a future....changing the feature
of POP service for a FORWARDING Service. So, i used a yahoo account with POP
option i have on www.yahoo.com.mx as a filter. If Hotpop site is afected
then all the messages i receive THERE will be automatically infected??? So,
then Yahoo will delete my messages....
I think i will lost part of my e -mails.....trying to made the good
thing...
