Beware of using other’s software!!!

I am a big fan of Mig33 software. It’s nothing but an IM just like MSN or Yahoo messenger but has some other extra features too. One of the fascinating things about mig33 chat rooms is that we can kick other user which is only if certain number of people agrees for the kick. But the problem is that within the time frame if other users also don’t kick the intended id, s/he will survive the kick and will be safe for some time.
So, this is when I went on looking for software that would make sure that intended person is kicked because it’s not only about the time but also you credit gets deducted with start of a kick. Anyways after much search I found a software that would solve this problem. POKEA was just what I needed. With it I could login from multiple ids and then enter the chatrooms in a sec and do mass flooding. Also I could target an id and kick it in a second using my logged in ids. I was very satisfied with this software but I didn’t know that I had fallen into a trap. Next day when I tried to login in mig33, it said my password was invalid. Same was the answer to all my other ids. I hadn’t given my password to anyone and before I used this software this had never happened to me. It was a shock that the passwords of my 20 mig33 ids were changed. Then I realized that this POKEA developer must have injected some code in the program that my password must have been saved to their database and then it was just a matter of time they comfortably changed my password to whatever they wanted. Thank god that mig33 has that feature of sending the password to the mobile no. and also I had the same number till now to revive the password. Also the password of other ids were had been changed to the same password, so I could change the passwords and revive my ids else it would have been a disaster for me. They could have done anything with my ids and even could have created misunderstandings between me and my buddies.
So, what everyone should understand is that before downloading free software and using them one should beware of the consequences it could bring. They may be spreading virus or even leaking your precious data.
