I was wondering if it’s possible for someone to drop a Trojan on your rig when opening a direct\send file transfer in aim, even if you’re the one sending the file.
The reason I ask is I know this guy that wanted a small program from me. I sent it to his hotmail account and he came back and told me “windows deleted it”, “send it in aim transfer”. I told him to check his hotmail account (I don’t have his regular ISP email address), he then told me to send it by aim transfer. I told him again to check his hotmail account, he then told me messenger deletes attachments. I asked him if he knows how to get attachments and he said “don’t doubt my intelligence” and “forget it dude”. He then says “you’re making drama out of a 2 sec transfer”, “transfer it thru aim or drop it”, I’m thinking you just brought it back up, “I know how to check my e-mail”. I reply by saying how come you can’t get attachments? He replies “it is not coming and i'm getting irritated”. Asked why he’s getting mad and he says later and signs off.
Just to inform you, I had a Trojan scare about a week or so ago. A few days prior to the “scare” he was bragging about how he knows how to drop Trojans on people’s computers, how to “blow them up” so they get kicked off-line. It also seemed like he was bragging about losing his job at gateway because of some of his slick moves (won’t go in to detail about that).
