    It's a scam to install a virus or spyware onto
    your computer.There's lots of these sites
    around the net trying to trap the gullable

    I agree with MitchellDeMoor on this one ! What's up with some of these people anyway ? Do they have nothing better to do than screw up our computers with a damn virus for no reason !
    That really does **** ! :mad:
    I hope you find out who they are and turn them in !

    I received the same one, but addressed to different people. First thing I did was come here and check my PMs. Sure enough there's no PM there. No way I'd click on a link like that.
    I was about to post a warning, too, but it looks like you have it covered.
    Thanks.

    Yep, always go to any board you are on and open the pm's there if you have one showing instead of opening it from the email.

    I found out the hard way to never open a link posted by a first time poster on any board either. Lost a hard drive on that one on a sailboat board that I haven't frequented much since.

    I think those ***holes that create and send out viruses should be shot. They rank right up there with a car thief.

    I had it from a different board a couple months ago. Dumb*** me opened it, which I usually would never do, but it was supposedly from a MOD! Ended up having to get my Computer reloaded as I just couldn't get it to clear on my own.
    Cost me $100.00 in work and due to a setup error I even lost my Monitor, but the guy who made the mistake sold me a better one for his cost.
    A MUCH better one, at an absolute steal! :D
    Silver lining in every dark cloud...
