AIM/iChat?

[asterroc]

Anybody else been getting stupid messages from random people on AIM/iChat such as "Are you going to die?" or "Have you lied to your children today?" I got the former the other day, and the person said he got the latter from me; neither of us had actually sent it. Today I got the latter. It totally sounds like a virus or something, except that I thought there weren't really any Mac viruses out there.

Thank you! I have been hit by the Salmon bots on a number of occasions. Most of which almost instantly lead to my being accused of perversion.

Now let me point out that I use my instant messaging system pretty much exclusively to chat with my distant coworkers. Mostly work related, but occasionally just office chatter. I spent a couple hours yesterday intermittently chatting with a coworker about her sick cat.

It is quite annoying to have some young woman (Which so far it has always been) receive some sort of rude innuendo supposedly from me that I have never sent.
