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

    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?
    They're gonna get me sooner or later, let's just hope it's later. -GG Allin

    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!)
    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!! Please no virus!!
    Hoping this won't be my second virus in a month! Stupid PCs!
    Mac's rule!

    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!

    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.

    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?
    I really do not know what I enjoy most.....the weed or the glass I smoke the weed out of. I think that's a cross addiction. LoL
