SPAM in PM box!

[Ryan Keough]

I just deleted the offending spam bot jikoms4 and banned the IP address it came through... hopefully that one will be killed off. We have been seeing a huge spike in this kind of junk as of late and trying to find patches and fixes to it.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Let Ztex or I know if anything else comes up.

Thanks,
Ryan

I got it once as well.

[Dan Jones]

Me too.

I don't feel left out then, I got my two. And yes, I clicked on them, but nothing seemed to happen. Fortunately. My computer is probably about to self-destruct though.

Got only one email notice in Yahoo, used the link in the e-mail notice to log in to my WIX mailbox, and there's no PM from this jikoms character. Good (I guess). Anyone else get an email but no PM?

I fell for clicking on the link as well.As with others above,Norton shows nothing,but I used my Acronis 2010 True Image Home program to restore my computer to a full system backup that I made yesterday.Hopefully,that will erase any spyware and/or malware.I guess that it's a reminder that we're not safe anywhere online.I can only thank Scott and Ryan for taking care of this so quickly.

Just got one from this jikoms4 dude and like the individual of questionable judgement I am I opened it!

[Nathan]

Did everyone get one? If not how come only a select few members got them?

[groundpounder]

Santa didnt miss me either !!

[FAFG_Xav]

Got it twice today, from jikoms4.

the link sent me to my PM box

As I hadn't read the forum first, I sent a PM t Scott, sorry for the inconvenience...

I got the same, then I ran a scan and a cleaner in the event it was a covert lightning download of a virus or tracking cookie thingy

The great pumpkin visited my box too. Ran my antivirus program 3 times and no major hits
