Has anyone received private messages with the subject "Hello" ??? This is the full message:

Hello. Email spam from your computer was detected.
It is quite possible that yout pc is a part of botnet (htt p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet).
Highly recommend you to scan your computer for malicious and potentially unwanted software. If you do not follow this, I will have to make a complaint to your Internet Service Provider with attached log file (your IP address, etc.).
If you want to find a report about your computer's security and solve every problem with it, please click here: htt p://www.totalpcscan.com/detected/Ambrose
This is an online service that you can use for free spyware removal.
Sincerely, Robert Taylor.

I know this is fake because I use a mac! Laughing But if this is a problem for other users, it won't be good.

All tidied up. I am looking into options to try to prevent this without restricting legitimate PM use...
