I dont know if im the onyl who got it, but i got an email supposedly from tip.it warning about a virus spread across the forum and telling me not to access the forums for a few days and gave a link to a mcafee stinger virus scanner, i clicked on it, it was an exe file, it looked suspicious, so i go to http://www.tip.it and check the news, nothing on it, so i do a scan of the file, oooh and what do we have here win32.SCkeylog.N, so it deletes it automatically but there is another part of the file roaming around on my computer undeleted. Just a word of advice to u guys out there, careful, dont download it.

Don't download what? IE automatic download whatever is done thru java. Get firefox + NoScript.

thank u, im not stupid, i have firefox, it is not a script, its a link here ill show u what it said on my email:

ironic.

 

 

 

If it say don't log in, why are you here? Why you said "dont click on that link" mcafee is antivirus site.

OK i went down the forum and saw someone had the same email earlier, so i removed the link, as im sure someone here would end up clicking on it.

Wow its pretty sad to fall for a telnet and a download link. Check the mails properties and it will say where its from next time

lets see, i didnt get keylogged, and im doing people here a favour by warning them of an email such as this

 

 

 

SO DONT U [bleep]ING THROW UR LAME COMMENTS AT ME U TARD.

Curious, why is it wasn't informed on tip.it frontpage, or flashing text about it on this forum?

 

 

 

Sorry to be rude, but it look like you are making it up or got fake email. Unless if admin / mod states something about it.

I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, look down in the forum, someone posted the same thing, what do u want me to do, take a screenshot at it from my email? ]

 

 

 

wtf. im giving people a warning, and now im getting accused of it. screw all of u, go ahead and click on it.

Calm yourself...Ok I personally thank you for the warning.

I'm sorry but this is just plain stupid. You should have known better than to click on that link.

It is smart to war everyone in General, but that was obviously an infected link. :?

It is a fake e-mail. He is warning us about it, and the keylogger it contains.

Thanks for the warning :)

why not follow jak's advice?
