Potential virus being spread!! -DON'T OPEN PM-

[Vitaherb]

A "banned" user named RazzorrMan sent me a PM inquiring about a potential virus detected within my forum usage (?), a pop up came up YES/NO to run a script, which was detected as HARMFUL to my computer.

I suggest not even opening up the PM.

Trying to help as many as possible!! :pray:

[Basack]

Yup i got that to. Wouldnt worry about it. Fucking tard trying to sell his virus software.

[who-dat]

yeah, he got banned i see...

[Vitaherb]

yeah, he got banned i see...

There's still users out there with the scripts in their PM inbox, I didnt see any other threads so here's hopefully enough warning to reduce the amount of people infected =x

edit: To reiterate, although he's still banned his messages are still there

[sliv33]

thanks for the heads up

[outdoordreams]

I also got a virus info PM from a BESTFORUMTEAM.......fucking kids.

thanks for the heads up. Smelled fishy.

Peace odd

[fullmeltbubble]

i apologize about all these spammers.....i'm working on a workaround to stop them from ever signing up

[Tobybologna]

First ten posts require approval before posting? Dunno. Thanks though FMB! :)
Edit: I guess you'd have to stop PM's too... :x

[carlitos]

damn i opened it but i have a mac...i hope that doesnt screw my computer up damn those spammers!!!

[sibannac]

thanbks for the heads up.

And Who dat say they gonna beat them saints

Not sure if it's related but there was a new member "AdministrationTeam" or something like that who joined a day or two ago but they don't show up on the members list. I only ask cause of the "team" ending. Is it actually an admin?

[Vitaherb]

damn i opened it but i have a mac...i hope that doesnt screw my computer up damn those spammers!!!

You'll be fine as long as you didn't click any pop up messages upon opening the PM, on a mac.

How was a popup embedded in a PM in the first place? As far as I know that is the point of bbcode. Plain HTML should never be allowed ( not even sure if possible ) in a PM or message post. A popup would require some sort of script (probably java, vbscript, activex etc... ) in order to function, but should not be possible to embed.

Anyhow, all users who are using firefox should download the plugin called NoScript. This will require YOU to specify sites which you trust. This plugin would have told which domain the script was hosted on and disallowed it to run by default.

Be safe all!

Thanks for the heads up! (Too bad I didn't see it before my PM's popped up!)
:mad: I also got a PM from the Best...Team guy, it gave me a 'read receipt' message, and since it looked like it was from admin I clicked it! Ahh!! :pray: Please no virus!!
Hoping this won't be my second virus in a month! Stupid PCs! :mad:
Mac's rule!

[WaTdAbLuNt420]

:cool2:good thing I run Linux!

[Natty Puffington]

Who does that anyway?
I mean, what kind of jerk do you have to be to send viruses to people by PM?
...I guess someone with a LOT of free time and no herb.

what a dink! :mad:

[Vitaherb]

If you have noticed anything out of the ordinary specifically speeds altering between programs, scan your computer for multiple things such as malware spyware trojans etc... I would normally suggest formatting prior to this point but seeing as you're on a Mac, you're probably in the green, if you know what i mean,

I would keep rhyming but what the hell.

[FunkeeNuggz]

I just got the same thing in my notifications and said it was from administrators saying I have a complaint. What's up with this?

[DaNK]

I just got the same from Admin/Moderator. Come on FMB whats going on.

Warning! Next time we will have to complaint to your ISP, 01:49 PM Admin&Moderator

[Basack]

Haha i thought i was bein too rowdy again : P

[themasochist]

Yeah I got that warning about reporting to my isp one as well.

[419gotaminute]

I just got it too?
If I need to open something or do some kind of scan please let me know personally FMB otherwise I am not opening it.

[EatYourEye]

i just got one also sunday morning not sure if people are still getting this just delete it?

[Vitaherb]

It's been confirmed the script opened through the Warning PM could be harmful, I would delete it.

You might get YOUR second virus in a month and you are blaming the PC? You know you are the one using the computer, right? :pipe:

<-- 16 years on a PC and never had a virus!

Anyway, thanks for the warning.. I just saw this thread right before seeing I had a PM ready to read... well that got deleted! Even though my robust Anti-Virus suite would most likely catch it.

Thanks!!!

[Justme]

its easy to go 16 years without knowing you have a virus ;)

[threeeleven]

I'm in IT... I think I'd know if I had a virus/worm/trojan/malware/etc etc etc

....Next! :pray:

[Justme]

yea so am I .. lol

[Justme]

oh .. and Vitaherb, you dont have a virus .. its bullshit spammers .. there trying to get you to goto thier webapge, there you will get a virus, and that virus will prompt you to buy their anti-vitrus software.

[AZ grow]

[Vitaherb]

Don't open it, even though it says Admin/Moderator!!! It's for your own good people :D
