Hello there! I have received the following private message:

Dear, luisoft!

There are viruses' activities from your computer! Highly recommend you to scan your computer for malicious and potentially unwanted software. If you do not follow this, I will have to make a complaint to your Internet Service Provider with attached log file (your IP address, etc.). If you want to find a report about your computer's security and solve every problem with it, please click here:

<SNIP - LINK REMOVED Demonpants>

This is an online service that you can use for free spyware removal. Use it to scan your computer to help protect, clean, and keep your computer running at its best. Use the free scan to check for and remove viruses, spyware, and other potentially malicious software and to find vulnerabilities or shortcomings in your Internet security.

Thank you. Yours truly, Cliff Edwards.


I dont have any virus in my computer at all. In fact I'm using Linux and perform daily scans and no virus was detected. The message above points to a malicious site... could you please check the site. This is a warning... some people may be fooled and get virus in their computers.

Sorry for the bad English.

Thanks,
Luiz

Don't worry, this guy has been banned.

This is complete BS and they're just trying to make you install some spyware. If you ever get something that says "Do this or I will contact this person," it almost always means it's BS - why not just let "this person" contact you?

This is LOCKED.

Please put discussion in this mirroring thread here:
