I don't open the link,because it seems a fake email,but i want just to warning the administration of the forum for this.Probably they don't have anything to do with this,but is very strange.

PS3:Sorry i have put ** on http,to no one acess the site, but the forum corrected the link O_o

I was wondering this myself. The URL provided set off many warning bells, as did the program name. I looked it up via google and got this:

Threat: TrojanDownloader.loadadv

Alias:

Threat type: Trojan Downloader -

Advice: Remove

Threat risk: Severe Risk

Severe risk threats are typically installed without user interaction through security exploits, and may allow an attacker to remotely control the infected machine. Such threats may allow the attacker to install additional malware and use the compromised machine to participate in denial of service attacks, spamming, and bot nets, or to transmit sensitive data to a remote server. The malware may be cloaked and not visible to the user. These threats severely compromise the system by lowering security settings, installing “backdoors,” infecting system files, or spreading to other networked machines.

Description: TrojanDownloader.loadadv is a group of files that download other malware and/or adware without notice or consent.

TrojanDownloader.loadadv is typically downloaded through a security hole or though social engineering.

This needs to be treated more seriously that what It looks like...

My E-Mail address was hidden so that means someone ore something hacked into the admin account (or mod) someone who has the ability to mass e-mail people...

This really is not beeing treated as dangerious as it is needed to be...

ITS A VIRUS AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE FORUMS HAS PERTENTIOLY GOT THE E-MAIL AND DOWNLOADED IT! THIS IS NEEDED TO BE MADE MORE AWARE SO PEOPLE DONT DOWNLOAD THE VIRUS (I DID) I ONLY FOUND THEIS THREAD AFTER I DOWNLOADED IT AND AVG GOT IT...

Really straten up and fly right or more members will leave this board...

I know that I would be one of them...

Sorry if this gets looked at the wrong way or if this affended someone...

It needed to be said (AND ITS JUST MY VIEW)....

Sorry
