    I joined a forum a while ago, although think I only made one post. I checked my email earlier and it said I had three PM's there, so checked it out - apparently I have an infected computer and needed to click a link to use 'total pc scan' which is 'free' or they would report it to my IP provider.

    I have never had a PM like that before, although it looked like the people had sent a group message to a few people and had no posts themselves.

    So yeah I am guessing that's a total virus, and no I didn't click on it. Damn it you people, you're mean buggers!

    yeah dont fuck with it. If they gotta push their product rather than people willingly downloading it that means it is worthless/harmful

    Absolutely right and when that method of leaving doesn't work, turn your pc off instantly!
