How much russian ICQ spam you getting today?
 

:(:(:(:( it doesnt seem to stop

I never get spam messages on my icq. If someone tries to message me that is not on my contact list, icq tells me that someone who is not on my contact list tried to send me something, then gives the option to block them.

i totally forgot about that option when i reinstalled ICQ ... let me check that option thx man

They keep trying to add and send over some .js

Yeah, getting sooooooooo fed up with it :Oh crap

Two day ... that's all I've had since I installed ICQ about 3 weeks ago.

Usually 5-10 per day or so :(

Solutions?
 

Is there any application or something that really blocks it?
:disgust

5 - 10 a day as well here :(

I get quite a bit, and whats happening now is I am getting ICQ russian spam from names that have been on my list for about 10 years...they must have lost their number

same here ... :(

Nada. I've shut down this program. basta!

I'm getting that shit too, Outside of not in the contact list users also from about three or four contacts, one of them is for sure active and not aware of that.

seems to be an icq trojan or something

It has stopped somewhat for me.

I get like 1 a week I used to get tons but not anymore

:mad::mad::mad:

I get 7/10 message a day .

not one here ..im tight

Three today so far. Really tired of it

you can call me 'russian spam' as much as you want.. but our love will be forever

nada, trillian astra for the win

Yes, yes, yes :thumbsup

5-10 daily but so far not much annoying as usual

Actually yes, also 5-10 a day.

14 messages so far :1orglaugh

Yup its from people on my contact list as well on several occasions... seems there icq #'s have been compromised

It uses infected ICQ accounts

I haven't gotten any in a while. When someone new tries to add me, I look to see who it is first... If I don't recognize them, or if it's some BS name, I just block them.

I don't receive icq spam. What I am doing wrong? :helpme

quit Icq a while back. Daily Russian spam drove me crazy. Skype is the shit.

It's been horrible like a month a go. Would get 10+ daily. Now it somewhat stopped. Last week maybe 10 alltogether.

For freelancers like us, there's really not much option but to add them at first. If there's no message within 2 days we usually block and delete them in icq. But then again, it leaves you to deal with the same problem the next day :(

Whats up man? How is life?

Okay, this thread helps explain why someone I used to talk to who I thought was legit is now spamming the fuck out of me.

Ditto here. Not getting the spam but a shitload of Russian join requests :Oh crap

Me too, the same person for about a year now.

I am not getting any spam today.

i got one today. id be using Trillian but its adding contact thing is way behind the promised.

For the last 10 days i have had on average 6-7 spam contacts add me every day... Either Russian or Chinese :321GFY

i get about 3 a day.

None :)

two minimum and more per day

ditto...perhaps the same person. I used to talk to one guy about content and now it is always Russian spam.

I thought I'd check my settings and post some that seem relevant.

Under Options, Privacy tab I have checked the following under Spam Control:

Ask me before accepting messages from people I dont know.
Enable ICQ Anti-spam to filter-out spam messages.


I'm not limited to accepting only messages from people on my list, but under Notifications I do have it set to:

Notify me if someone who is not on my list messages me.

I get used to it

Nope, I'm surprise not getting them. lol

I'm getting it daily. Somehow Miranda IM doesn't have ignore list (((

+1 :)
all you have to do is go through aut requests and block users.

i turned those on yesterday after i saw your first post :)

A lot of them.... is a mess
