How many guys have installed some miscellaneous IM software on phones and given the software their Gmail /Yahoo passwords in the name of mobile chat?

Even that facebook feature of getting into your inbox to invite “friends” on your behalf is very suspect…

I'm also suspecting that it could be a worm. But the question is... how do we avoid becoming victims? Looking at the addresses in my address book, the last thing(s) I would want to see are emails from certain very respectable people in my address book asking me what *this* is all about.

It can't be a worm, unless you guys want us to think like Windows LUsers. How does a worm get into your web-based address book, like in Yahoo/Gmail, etc?
I've received the same type e-mails from a friend who says she never sent the e-mails at all, yet the e-mail was sent to everyone in her Yahoo address book. After that, I have also received same mail from one of the contacts that were in her address book - see the cycle?
Now, with Yahoo account, that can't be a worm!
