Title: THIS IS URGENT: TO THE REGULATORS OF THIS FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: 00to60 on October 15, 2006, 10:56:37 PM

There is a new topic under the Strange and Odd motorcycle stories called BEWARE OF VIRUS Fun Site posted by a new user with only 4 posts (Joanbasteenup5). This site contains a virus called Virusburst that prevents your pc from logging on the internet and tries to make you download some spyware. This virus caused me problems all night 10/15 06 when I accidently clicked on the link. I'm just now getting this virus out of my computer with the help of my wife. Could someone please address this situation before it cause others problems? Thank you for time.

:thanks:  for reporting this here! Something like this, or a PM to either myself or PitterB4 will grab our attention best, as we haven't had the time lately to monitor every thread on the board daily.

 :thanks:  also to the watchful eyes of our members posting warnings about bad links in the individual threads!  :beers:

 :stop: Always beware of posters posing ANY links when their post count is low!  :stop:
