The following is a courtesy bulletain from bighoaxes.com, I'll include a link to the original article\n\n"Second Buddylist Chain \nStatus  Hoax \nComments \nThis email states that if you send this to 10 people, a new type of buddy list will appear. \n\n\n \nDescription Hey everyone! This is the coolest thing! This is sooooo kewl! All that you \nhave to do is send this to 10 people and a new type of buddy list will appear \nafter you send it! Mine can tell you exactly where someone is, who they're \ntalking to, and if they have more than 1 s/n, it tells you what it is. This \nis soooooo neat!! \nIt's colorful too. After you send it, click on the line. You can try to click \non it now, but it won't work. You have to send it to 10 people first. \nIt worked for me! Right now, I can see my friend's other screen name! And she \nis talking to someone we both know! It was also approved by AOL. This is not a \njoke. Beleive me. It took me a couple of days to make the new buddy list, but I \nhave a Buddy List 2000 If you click on it before, all you will see is your own \nbuddy list, so if you send it to 10 people and then click on the blue writing, \nyou will have a new buddylist in seconds "\n\nSo yes this is a hoax and you aren't going to have a magical buddy list appear :p\n\nAs far as it being a virus so long as nothing was loading, and your anti-virus software was up-to-date, you should be ok.  If you really want to be safe update your definitions and run a full system scan. \n\nBest of Luck,\n\nArmus\n\nEdit: As far as someone "tracking" your IP, this is what cookies do, they track user browsing.  Unless you have information on your computer valuable enough for a professional to take personal interest in you I wouldn't worry.  And if they really wanted your info they wouldn't use a chain letter hoax.  If you really want to make sure your computer is clean you can always reload Windows from the Operating CD's that came with your computer or with your OS when you purchased it.  I usually reload my operating system once a year to clean out old files and help everything run like new again.\n\nDon't call a private security firm, they will try to charge you an arm and a leg and they often prey on customer ignorance.

Well if you are sitting at the computer then entering ipconfig /all at the command prompt will tell you what you want to know.  The link below will tell you your public IP address if you are using some sort of address translation.

You can see the others IP Address when sending a file in MSN for example, you just need to execute:\n\nSTART, RUN, CMD, "c:> netstat -a"

They can log your externally exposed IP address.  This wont be the same address you see if you're behind a network router (linksys) or something.  If you'd like to know your IP they see, go to www.whatismyip.com.  If you leave a message or comment, if they're smart, they'd be able to associate your page hit with that message time and from then on out, thye'd know that IP address was you.  This might be a problem if you're using dsl, as thats a static connection, and your IP would always be the same.  However, with cable, it uses DHCP so your IP should change pretty frequently i blieve.

Hi, you can trace any IP over the Internet using a free web-site service called Visual Route, it tells you from where it comes and it even shows you a map from your ip to that specific ip.  Here is the link: http://visualroute.visualware.com/\n\nAlso if this is not enough type this google search: track ip and a whole list of sites will appear.\n\nHope this helps!

You can go here to find out the origin of your current Internet IP http://remote.12dt.com/rns/\n\nAnd you can go here to hide your IP\nhttp://www.thefreesite.com/Anonymous_Freebies/

Your IP address can be tracked to you, regardless if it's dynamic or not.  When you're given an IP, it is logged by your ISP.

Oh yes, the website admin can usually find out the IP address and the domain from which the access was done.  However, it is difficult to pin-point exactly who did it unless the user has a static IP address (fixed IP address).  Usually ISPs provide you with a dynamic IP.  So its difficlut to find out who did it in your case.

in any email client you can click on view>full header.  this will reveal the original ip address of the email.

First, you can look for addresses (email/IP) using any hex editor. But it can be hidden.\nThe best way is to use packet grabber and to save all keylogger internet activity. Note that it can take a long time: maybe, your keylogger reports only once a week. So you packet capturing filter must be tricky.

If its by email, you can turn on a function in your email to see the source IP of the sender.  This IP will at the least tell what ISP he is using.  Keep all the emails and call your local police department's cybercrimes division.  If your municipal department does not have one, contact your county or state police departments.\n\nMore directly if it is possible, yes.  Our IT department does it all the time.  One example of a program is called PCanywhere.  I do believe it has to be installed on both machines and the IP address of the pc you are trying to control must be known.

Start "Command Prompt" and type in "ipconfig". That will tell you your own ip address. Then when your chatting with someone (or playing a game) type in "netstat" (in your Command Prompt) and that will show you all the connections open to your PC. (They will be the "Foreign Addresses) i.e. sip2.voice.re2.yahoo.com .   Now you chose the most likely one that would be the chatting connection, and type in "tracert" followed by the "Foreign Address", i.e.  "tracert sip2.voice.re2.yahoo.com". The first line will say something like this  "tracing route to sip2.voice.re2.yahoo.com" and there you will find your friends ip address in brackets\n\nBy the way, that's a good way to find out if someone is connected to your PC that shouldn't be ;)
