Trojan on this site? - WTF

Post by ces » Sat Mar 06, 2010 9:11 am

I just read this email and clicked on the link. Does that mean I now have a trojan on my computer?

What the heck is going on? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that is so, why was this message left up. What kind of BS is this? What kind of $%^$%^$%^ is this?
