    Ok when going thru my directory and approving link as well as deleting them I click on this link to this site hyipmanagerscript.com and it tried downloading some virus/trojan according to my anti virus program so just thought I would give you a heads up

    Check the image, it also gets picked up by a load of others as I'm lucky enough to have several OS's we can test on.

    Before making retarded remarks like this, try getting off your lazy a$$ and checking FIRST.

    It's BEST to confirm it rather than see dumb initial posts like this that strike the curiosity in other people causing them harm.


    @jminscoe
    thx for the head sup.

    @JamieG
    thx for the confirmed scan.

    Before making such rude remarks its well known that many antivirus software throws up false alarms when things are perfectly ok, well seen that your connected with phplynx as your as arrogant as the others connected with kevin, il actually refrain from calling you a name back though and just smile instead.

    Please refrain from the use of the word retarded as some individuals actually have the difficulty of family members and friends who are actually "retarded" as in actually handicapped.

    I see americans use this word all too often, in the UK this is not the case, please think twice next time before using that type of word, its highly offensive as misused.

    My post regarding a false alarm makes perfect sense and is not dumb at all, for your information im not lazy so please refrain from suggesting so.

    Thanks for your negative input though.

    Added Text: Robert, check your directorydump, you have mail.

    I feel the submission was not to send virus/trojans to infect the directory owners computer, its probably a infected server which has to lead to this warning. :)

    A good anti-virus and regular scans helps protect your PC.

    Let me educate you a bit as you clearly need some.

    1. An0n, at present has NO connection with phpLynx, if he does, he'll let you know.

    2. While some anti-virus products can issue what are called in the industry 'False Positives' you are always advise NEVER to download if in doubt. An0n was absolutely right in telling you off, you were wrong to comment on something you haven't got a clue about. This one WASN'T a false positive so your advice could have harmed many people.

    3. Kindly refrain from unnecessary flaming pipes, it won't do you any favours on this forum or in the real world.

    And please, stop trolling for the sake of justifying your selling signature links, it makes you look incredibly desperate. :rolleyes:
