simonus Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I just received a pm from this user purporting to be a mod... and he ain't... so if any of you guys get a pm from him, just ignore it He's been banned, but some of his detritus might still be floating around.

Yeah, I just got a PM from him. I've put him on my list of Blocked people. Thanks for the Heads up!
Bitterman Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I just got a PM from him as well with a link to some Russian website, likely an attempt to spread a virus. Ban him asap please.

HabRus Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Yes, the link leads to the site that was reported for attacks and spreading viruses/malware... Don't open!
Bitterman Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) I just got another PM from him with the same virus link at 12:18pm EST. Edited June 2, 2009 by Bitterman
parksville habsfan Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Is it not possible for Habsworld to send us a message to warn us about something like this?
House11 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Just like any email ... if you don't know who it's from don't click on any attachments or links. I didn't even have to read this warning to know that it was something I shouldn't click on.
lazy26 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Should I be insulted that I didn't get any PMs inviting me to download delicious viruses?

platypus Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 i clicked on that link yesterday because the user name seemed familiar to me for some reason. i thought it was some russian hockey news accessible only by inputting that code. lol i must have been sleeping. anyhow i did some research and it posts to it being prorat trojan. this apparently is pretty dangerous but as far as the info available, only affects xp/2000 systems. i work on vista but i did a full scan and then restored my computer to an earlier date. i'm kicking myself for being so dumb.
sakiqc Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Sorry about that. I've upgraded the security on the forum.
sakiqc Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I deleted all Private messages from the 3 "russian bots"
