| If you receive a message from Kychifole, do not click the link in the message. It is a virus. I know cause Kychifole sent me a message earlier. Good rule of thumb is if you don't know the user who sent the message to you, don't click or download anything from them Regards, jmet (PERHAPS A MODERATOR/ADMIN COULD STICKY THIS NOTE?) |

| Alert For Admins! Recieved an e-mail just a short while ago that I had a PM here. Logged in to check since I was online anyway, & found the mssg from Kychifole. Since I was *curious* & have pretty good security on my sys, I checked out the link via C&P to another window. Link led to a SPAM page (banned & etc) that attempted to 'autoinstall' malware on my sys via Java applet. That attempt took my Opera browser down, & attempted to open IE along with the windows ipconfig tool. Those were blocked by my Z-A firewall which alerted me to those attempts to gain net access. (I don't allow ANYTHING utomatic internet access here; esp not IE!) AV scan shows my sys clean (Opera doesn't allow anything to autoinstall w/o user permission), spyware scans in progress. I don't know if your website has any function for tracking source of PM's; if so the message is still in my inbox for ya to check. If you can track the source of these, might I suggest banning that individual AND blocking their IP !!! |
