Hey guys,

You've likely recieved a PM from angelikzusa titled "Just for Fun" I know this because I recieved it too, this is likely a malware attempt, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!! Ive sent a PM to Alex, so it will hopefully soon blow over.

I read this on the internet: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...07204137AALllP7 So theyve attempted it with other sites.

Crap, I clicked it before you posted this up. Though I also asked Minque to kill it so we should be able to sort it sooner or later.

What happens if you do click it though? All I got was sent to a site that advertised viagra.

Which was worrying, to say the least.

In all honesty it didn't occur to me to click it.

Depending on your computer a virus scan might be prudent (especially if you use an out of date browser, or internet explorer (the difference is small wink.gif )), though you're most likely (but not certainly) ok. In fact just run a virus scan anyway, its a good habit. Perhaps a spyware one too if you're so inclined.

I clicked it twice!

Well I'm up a particular hydrological feature of the landscape whilst lacking a particular nautical instrument.

Well, the account has been dealt with at least.

Don't be clicking on them weird links from strangers, never know where they've been.


Edit: the word filter now picks up that particular link and puts it through the shredder.

Ahh, the good ol' days when I was young, curious, had Windows 98 SE and craving to click on strange links.

I just flat out deleted the PM. I'm rather distrustful of anything from anybody I don't know.

Thanks for the warning, folks. Although, I probably wouldn't have clicked the link anyway. If there had been a decent post above the link, then maybe. But as it was, obvious spam.

Besides, why would I need viagra? I'm completely against physical contact of all natures.

Thanks for the warning Black Hand. I could probably be like the rest of you sane guys and say I wouldn't have clicked it anyways but if I'm being completely honest I would've tongue.gif. It said just for fun it must be harmless...

I have that Norton security thingy, so I guess it's not that.

Their scans are really annoying, especially during a game.
