Spam Attack... Please read!!

Post by Poida »

Hi everyone. I have been seeing a lot of new members lately that all post links to supposed adult sites. Please ignore any such posts. I have also altered the signup procedure so new members must be manually verified before being allowed to post in the forum.

Don't be tempted to click the link and see because they don't lead to a porn site as implied, most link to a page looking like this:

If you choose to click on the button you just loaded an executable file and it probably carries some sort of virus or the likes.


Protect your computer by downloading a trial offer or free anti virus program for:
WINDOWS
AGV
Eset

LINUX
ClamAV

I'm going to look for a good way to tackle this problem but I'm short of time at the moment. In the mean time, avoid problems by not clicking on offers such as these and get a decent anti virus program installed. It's so important to prevent infection rather than cleaning up the mess after the fact.

In the mean time the spammers will be systematically removed as they appear.

This issue shouldn't be a worry any more. The later version of software now being used has lots of preventative features.
