Yesterday I got a virus from someones webshot link here on the hamb. I was looking at his 36 rear bones and poof i was done for the whole afternoon until I straighten out my pc. It started with a pop up from advast (which I have)that you have a virus. Then another window comes up to scan your computer from another source and thats when it downloads into your computer. I should of X-ed t but I didnt. Im not really savy with computers but becareful because I had seven trojan/worms?
GUYS - Don't OPEN ANY LINKS that you DON'T KNOW PERIOD. This is a old trick..... "You MAY have a virus - donwnload this to see what it is... well you click on the link and guess what ? Malware - Spyware - bla bla bla....... I don't care how old you guys are or new you guys are to the computer - trust me..... DON'T OPEN LINKS YOU DON'T KNOW ! Friendly advise - use it. Cob

Ya John thats what it was. I got it from webshots on here. It popped up once i clicked on the picture.
I sent him a link to remove this .If any of you other guys get this virus ,I have the link in my email to remove ,Its free ,This one wasted over 7 hours of my time ,If you don't use the guidelines ,It comes back .
I got one too. "Important message from the forums administration!" from "ForumsAdministrator" glad I did a search first
On any message like that look at the full header of the message and you'll see it didn't come from here, it came from cwmail3.cyberwurx.com. Always check the headers, and if you get a message that something is in your personal messages, use your trusted link to log in here and check your PMs. Don't check a PM from an email because you can't trust it.
Just got one today. Under the name of the guy that sent the spam message, it says banned. How can he still send pm's?
I haven´t been to the board in a long time and thought it was wierd getting this mail. The first thing I did was got on the board and looked for "jozzrobin", the person that sent the mail. I didn´t find the person. My Private Messages box was empty too. On Wednesday I received a Mail saying there will be a meeting of computer hackers somewhere and they are having a contest to see who can make the most money using "Zombies". This Mail was a Zombie. If anybody did click on one of the links and ended up on this board you should change your Login Password. Sean
Thanks Ryan. I had a new one in my email "as a valued Clist customer". Ha. Clist is terrible now with spam.
New one from Davietorr & being a chat buddy. Is there any way you could do a "captcha" lettering before sending PMs? This is my third in less than a week. Chris Also, you might have a stcky again on the main page for this.

I took off the "http" so that people would not click it trying to see what it is. I know that on Facebook, it has a pop-up window that mentions that your going to an unsafe site when you click on external links. Thanks, Chris Oh yea, you guys do get it before it hits my PM box. I just see it in the email via an iPhone. Thanks for catching it. Is it better for you guys if we post the name of the sender so that you can delete the senders account and all the they send?
