 |
Ok, I am a lurker, and I really only made this since I could not contact Keiii directly.
I was browsing the forums, and when I went into the Haru Sari portion to the Chapter discussion, my virus scanner told me the page was infected with malware or some kind of virus.
Just thought I'd let someone know. :x sorry if this is already known or whatnot. |

| That's the first time I've ever heard of anything like that happening here. Which link was it, precisely? The "Chapter 15 discussion" one? |

Hm. I'm not sure about that, but I did get this questionable message from "LadyXAdmin":
Dear, Maemori!
A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://antivirus.effectmeds.com/Maemori
----------------------------------------------------
Sincerely, Forum Administration haru-sari.com.
I'm hoping that no one else who got this message clicked that link, because I am willing to bet money that it leads to installation of malware. So just to let you guys know - and maybe suggest a mass message telling people not to click? |

| That would be spam. If you receive any messages like that in the future, please let me know so I can deal with it. They avoid messaging admin accounts, so I have no idea of knowing otherwise. |

I'd put my money on that it's a computer virus contagion. I have encountered a computer recently inundated with a virus from a similar type of source, and that computer can't even boot in safe mode.
Ignore it, report it, throw a few four letter words at it, but don't click that link. Your accounts are fine.

I got one today too from JosephWard. Claiming my pc was sending out viruses, that he was an admin, and would be deleting my account if I don't pass the scan in the link. >.>

IMPORTANT
Okay, I clicked the link, because my computer does actually have a few minor/irritating viruses. It looked like a genuine enough site so I let it go ahead and "Scan" my computer ...
My computer is now infected with a worm that is stealing personal information AND blocking all programs from working, as a result I have to write this on my mothers laptop.
Long Story Short: I can't be 100% certain but I think that it's a virus, I think it's a dangerous virus, DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
