Hello,

Recently, there have been Private Messages going around from random people that includes something like:

Hello friend, i found you -insert fake link here-

Never click on unknown links if you're unsure of it. Most of the time unknown links can cause viruses which in this case, did. If you have please make you change your password AND scan your computer for viruses using tools such as:

Ad-Aware

Trend-Micro
How to tell what "bit" to download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218

Well if you don't want to go through the trouble of reading/doing all that, you can just download both and one of them should give you an error saying that "This is for xx bit type only"

These are probably the best tools that I have used for scanning my computer for viruses. Please make sure that once you remove the viruses from your computer to be sure to change your passwords as well.

Don't EVER type in your Username and Password on sites that you are not familiar with. EVEN if it does look like something you visit often. People can steal code and make pages look identical so MAKE sure the www._________.com is something you are familiar with.

Also please leave the person's username that PMed you so that we can take the appropriate actions

There was that kinds om PM's on 4-Minute.com
I can't seem why people bother T_T
But yes, be careful everyone >.<
Hope nothing bad happens here..

[PirinkO]

Ohh... the poor people who unknowingly clicked the link T__T;;

This must suck, are you any closer to banning the person who was sending them? @__@

[Jenson]

We already banned the person who was sending these Private Messages, but there will always be more people (just like Viagra spammers) so we need your help to provide the username of the person who PMs you.

Change your password if you clicked on the link and inputted anything. There has been more PMs on other forums going around saying that they are Administrators.

Administrators here will NEVER link you to other sites.

oh gosh I did click that link, like last week. Gosh! now I know why my firefox and my computer are acting weird these days TT__TT

Oh yeah, I'm using norton program, and i'm currently scanning my computer now, do u guys think norton will work in this case?

[Amber&LunaRox]

Wow this sure sounds serious, good thing I didn't get any PM like that...
Be careful everyone... :)

[dafp042194]

ARGH. Just because of that link....... -.-

I told my friend to reformat my laptop today, but he told me he can`t...
It can`t just because of that virus on the link. -.-
