You probably have some spy ware on your Drive . Ironicly
this is what the popup is warning for haha!

Get Adaware to scan your computer and remove the junk.

I had some moron from 127.0.0.1 trying to hack me for a
week. Everytime I started my computer he would start
hammering my box.

I sent him some virus infected files, but I think he got my
computer at the same time, cos I had to format after that.

-P

advanced spam that appeals to the paranoid side of you inner
self, made to think that you need some software to erase you
internet-tracks, when in fact no software can completely
remove this info from the magnetic structure of your
harddrive.

the only "black box" i know of is in an airplane,

........

and also a "black box" (tm) is a line driver to take a DS3
connection (45 x T1 circuits) and converts it to multimode
fiber (62.5micron) to campus connections

The 127.0.0.1 address is an alias for the local host so
whoever sends the email gets it coming right back at them.

Its not a hacker, its you - silly!!

Hhehehe

Nothing is impossible :S

We use the 127.0.0.1 in work to ensure we have installed
network cards correctly (or when we are troubleshooting
basic LAN issues)

Yeah...kinda like that!

In its simplest form you can use the PING command on it,
which basically echos a response.....'are you there?' 'yes
I am' Therefore if there was a problem with the LAN card
config then you'd expect an error :)
