be carefull folks

I just wanted to post a heads up to all the members, as some people are posting links to trojans on many forums. Please use extreme caution before clicking on any links, unless they have been posted by a known and trusted member.

I recently discovered that some websites are working with trojans and such shit... thanks to McAffee.

All people should install a virus scanner and a firewall to have a protection.

btw if you discover such links, send a PM to the mods that they can take it out and ban this user.

Thanks Morgwen, I have already warned a lot of sites, and my friend janett started a warning thread on zeropaid, but always warn us mods so we can get the word out as fast as possible. thats our job to help, and protect the members as best we can.

my anti-virus and firewall catch most of them

if i think a link is suspicious, i right click it and 'copy shortcut' then paste it into notepad , and have a look at it...
