Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 You sent a email with a link on it for gohip. Please read the following and follow the directions. The company to be aware of most is GoHip! This is a company that's pushing a "free" viewer that drives up your phonebill to the max. They redirect your Internet connection to an international number. Also, they attach their add to your e-mail. So all friends or business contacts you e-mail will get an add for GoHip as well. They also put a banner on your browser and reset your start-page. They add unwanted bookmarks. Trying to change any settings won't work, it will set itself back to how they want it. The only way to get rid of GoHip is clicking here to download and run the removal program <a href="http://www.thehun.com/remove.exe">AOL users click here for your link</a>. This company is advertising in ways that can't be accepted. They load an add with an image that is not there (so it will show as defective) and then put up the text: "If no movie plays, accept the download prompt for GoHip's Movie Plugin". Of course no movie will play 'cause they attempt to download a picture (not even a movie) that is not there. I hope some media will jump on this. These dialer-programs are starting to be the pest of the Internet. Be very careful downloading "free" movie plugins or any dialer programs. They'll charge you up to 400 USD an hour! When you close out this message go to your tools (in your email) and click on options. Go to the tab that says Signatures. You will find a signature there. Click the button that says add signatures to all out going mail. You want to make sure that there is no check mark there. Also, remove the signature line. Then go to the link and get gohip out of your machine. It is spy ware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
