How much seeking can people do - Security recomendation

Written: Apr 10 '00
Pros:Awesome IM product!
Cons:No cons!

I Have been using "ICQ-I Seek You" for about five years now.
I think IM software has help alot in todays world communication, and ICQ took it to a new level.
You can meet many great fun to talk to people, but there are also people using ICQ that are out to hurt you.

You see, once a hacker has your current IP address, he can do basically just about anything to your computer while you are online. So here is a very important security feature you should turn on your version of ICQ that many people do not bother with.

Go to your security prefs.. click on "Do not publish my current IP address".

I just about got hacked.. because a hacker got my IP address, but I disconnected just in time.

Hope this helps...
