Warning to all members!!!!

Post by Donga »

The last week or so I have noticed several people (or the same person using different accounts) providing links to a so call Anna Kournikova porn site. Do not open this link as the site it leads to contains a virus. When they do get posted either the admin or mods will delete these post when discovered to prevent members from accidently clicking on them. Once again do not open the link as it contains a virus.

No I did not open the link. I think when the first time it happend one of the members here pointed it out as they said it was happening at there uni. The post then were deleted by admin to protect our users. If I had not had read the response from that person I probably would have opened it in saying that tho. So thanks to who the original person wa who alerted us to it. :lol:

I would have been very disapointed had I had open the link. I believe Anna Kournikova is the hottest chick in the world apart from my girlfriend of course. :lol: I am glad I read the original warning from madmikey thanls you saved me hours of dispointment followed by hours of trying to get rid of the virus.

I recall someone :?: posting about it and saying it was a trojan or something that deletes all the files on your comp... I actually emailed Gav about it and he removed all the related posts. We have been hit i think 6 times by this one - is that right Gav?

Drives me nuts. Spamming criminals :-(

The only thing I can do is delete their accounts once I discover them.
