I got the above private message from someone unknown to me with a link that comes up as "under constuction" and have an idea that it is someone trying to send a virus through this forum. Lucky this is Linux.
Any comments?
Thanks

Does this forum have any anti-spam measures? You can get phpbb mods which will detect spambot registrations and block them.

It's too bad that I was stupid and didn't see this thread before clicking that link...that site installed a few viruses on my other computer running windows. Great, it can't be removed Thanks for the viruses !

[random guy]

u serious? wow now i cant remember what computer i clicked on the link with. i hope i did it somewhere safe... any info on what you got?

EDIT: just checked my history, seems as though i did it in windows. dont see any affects of any viruses, running a scan now.

odd.....clicking on it gave you viruses? wait...what? using linux and firefox don't get it?

although sorry we weren't able to ban the people quick enough, I hope all goes with with fixing
