    Today i was submitting with digixmas and when i clicked an email for confirmation:

    Please confirm email address here:
    http://www.newwebsitedirectory.net/conf ... p?lid=1264
    Which resulted in a virus infecting my PC and then my web server!!!! My site is crashed AND I have a shit load of changing passwords and cleaning to do.

    Thanks Digixmas/newwebsitedirectory!

    He's giving other members here a warning not to visit that directory. The same thing happened to me a long time ago when I visited a directory that was provided here on dp.

    You're running a server from home? If not, how could it infect your web server?

    I assume that everyone that reads the thread is smart enough not click on the link :) Besides, I don't think that's the full url of the link that's clickable.
