November 23, 200718 yr Lately I seem to be getting a lot of fake e- mails, saying stuff like 'You have been invited to become a player moderator' etc. I opened one, and was wondering, is it a possibility that there could be a keylogger attached to the e - mail?, and if so how would I go about identifing and getting rid of it? Any help is much appreciated :) Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered

November 23, 200718 yr I'm a player moderator. If you are asked to become one, a message will appear in your Runescape Inbox from a Jagex modeator. Messages that come from websites to your email may be viruses or scams to get your password and other data off your computer.
November 23, 200718 yr I am not a mod... :D Opening mail will usually not get you keyloggers, unless they are VERY VERY VERY advanced hackers, and if they were, they'd just hack your computer and plant the keylogger. Opening mail is safe, opening attachments in mail or external websites can infect your computer with malicious content. My goals: [b]5M coins:[/b] 4350K+ coins 200k+ items - 2 dec 5M coins - 16 dec I [b]have gotten[/b] my 5M by christmas. -bah this is only here for historical purposes now, I got 20m+ already "fail,well atleast the title,i wont read it with that colours""If you hadn't posted in rainbow I would actually give this a proper read""Colours suck."*I remove colours*"Where did all the colors go!? This is now 40% more likely to be tl;dr'd due to the lack of colors."

Any help is much appreciated :) Block all those addresses from emailing you ever again and if you feel inclined, email Jagex about these "rogue" websites so that their legal team can shut them down. I can't be certain about the legal team shutting down those websites but definitely block those addresses.
