AJRussell Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Received a private message from user luckkyman: Hello, friend. Highly recommend you to check your computer for viruses: http://www.check-pc.net/detected/AJRussell AJRussell is my user name for the hosting and I think on the forum too (first post) Pretty nasty site it takes you to, it loads up a My Computer window and scans your C: and D: drives for viruses/trojans, which it finds loads of. It then pulls up a Windows Security Centre notice asking if you want to remove them, and if you click Yes it downloads an .exe file. I might have fallen for it if I wasn't on a Mac Anyway, just thought the forum staff should be made aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 There's a "report" button on the forum for such matters, though I don't know if that exists for PMs. Anyways, it's taken care of. Thanks for reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelli Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 There's a "report" button on the forum for such matters, though I don't know if that exists for PMs. Anyways, it's taken care of. Thanks for reporting. I have the same problem. The guy is so cretine he identified himself as an ADM from here, tried to lure me into going to his site to have my computer "scanned" and even threatened to remove my blog!!! Dear, Angelli!

We only have 3 admins. We do our best, but not we're not here 24/7. We volunteer our time. I'm sorry you're bothered, but really? That was incredibly whiny.
