Thats OK!
I did mention is it not messenger service because of all the blabla with
that, LOL. But this is weird? I did try to release my IP earlier, but i kept
the same one, so I phoned my ISP and they said a new NIC was the only way,
even though it's dynamic. I wonder if this is a brand new exploit? I have
searched high and low and don't know what to make of it?
This person did not show up on my contact list, and i didnt even get
prompted to accept them?
