MetalGod Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ventuzz Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 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.
