Just a heads-up. Orkut seems to be infected by an unknown virus. Anyone who logs in, gets his/her contacts spammed with scraps. You try to scrap them back to apologize, but, horrifyingly the virus blocks you from doing so! *GASP* . You can’t even message. Can’t message. Can’t scrap. OMG! Its like someone cut my phone line!! HELP! HELP!
[Update]
Now is not a good time to have e-mail notification of scraps enabled. Its several times worse if you are forwarding the mail to your phone as sms 
. 30+ sms-es in half an hour and still counting.
[Update Update]
Ah. The issue seems to have been resolved as of now.
It seems it is using a possible security hole in the scrapbook which started supporting HTML of late. I noticed that there is an HTML embed tag in the spammed scraps.

I guess this has got something to do with those “scrap all friends” utility that has been floating around.. Seems some versions of that has virus.
