AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted March 16, 2010 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted March 16, 2010 Removed the account, banned the IP etc for what it's worth. Seems they only send to members so as to delay getting themselves deleted. Thanks for telling us guys, means we can sort it out ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficus Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 you could have had his account checked for the date that he joined the forums to see if he is an admin or not (13 march 2010 is not an admin btw that's for sure) dont know why a ###### like that would like to put a freaking virus in our systems ....and a strong one such as malware that screws everything up ( from DOS in windows and burns the HDD for iMac) always report to an admin or moderator with a label or tag under his nickname to have him sort things out . I hope that God burns his PC to the ground and have him erased from the memory of mankind! Cheers! Going to drink a beer to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
