The links these bots give are not spyware or adware, or viruses. This is a well-written bot by a very clever hacker. Yahoo is aware of them and trying to find them, but if you know much about bots, they can and do reproduce themselves faster than a good programmer can find the code lines to stop them. Just ignore them, they are really harmless, just VERY annoying!

The link is neither spyware or adaware or even a virus for that matter. It is a spammer. They/or the bot keeps changing their ID so I am sure yahoo is always chasing them. I have reported them many times and always give a thumbs down. If we all work together we may be able to help yahoo take action.
Has anyone got any info on this person/bot. IP address or anything?

Examples: are Spybot search for and smash, ad conscious, Avira Antivir, between others I actually have seen some correct participants supply very extraordinary solutions to sections they are correct in social gathering: sparkling the interior of a pc with a vacuum/hoover (...only in case everybody wonders... it truly is a huge no) also don't have self belief all internet counsel, some web content will supply pretend counsel which i locate humorous, yet different would have self belief. So attempt going onto a more desirable good internet website to verify this documents (which incorporates pc mag web content, and so on) yet yeah, absolutely some company employed human beings around the position

Yup. It is a bot formerly named as "man". Yahoo deleted its profile and came back with a new name "applele". Report its butt off if you happen to see it.
He now changed his name to "orcal_girl".
