I signed up for that a while ago so I could send a friend in HK texts... a couple of years later and now I'm suddenly getting all these "friendly invitations" from girls in Taiwan, Singapore, etc wanting to add me to their friends list

You can get 10 free sms messages a day from http://www.118888.co.uk/sms.jsp if you don't mind sending from a pc ;)

Nah no thanks, not only does it look suspicious, but id rather top up £10 a month and get 300 free SMS (with o2 btw)

Because it might start downloading nasty Ad aware for one thing.

Um, excuse me but I am responsible for the content of that website (118888) and I assure you that I'd rather cut my own head off with a bread knife than introduce ActiveX controls and spyware.
You have 10 SMS free a day, there's no catch, use it. :)

The point im clearly trying to make is that Richard didnt build the site, so therefore he doesnt know whats in the coding as clearly stated in his post, which means that there might be a tiny risk of ad aware and/or spyware being downloaded. He is only in charge of all the content as also stated in his earlier post.

OK, so I'll spell it out nice and clear.
I joined the company as a Web Developer in Jan 05, the site actually launched sometime before that.
I am at present currently responsible for it and I know the code inside out, having to deal with it often during a regular day in work.

If fact, I'd bet you £100 that you could browse the site with your IE settings set to the lowest and still get no spyware etc.

That clear enough for you? :)

erm... so, Rich, am I right in thinking that, if you're lucky, you probably won't get any spyware from that site...? :shrug:

:D :D :D
