Re: Spam
Um, I just got a PM from some "RootModeratorX" or something like that saying he is an administrator here. He said I have a virus and that I should click on the URL given to have a system check. Before this, I saw a message that said "Would you like a reader receipt?". I clicked yes on the reader receipt. I reread the message and was hesitant on clicking on the URL given, and then I looked at the name of the person sending the PM and saw that he is banned (said so under his name).
So I suspect he is trying to spread viruses, or at the least, promote a virus scan site. I didn't click on the URL. Is there a problem with clicking yes on the reader receipt? Is that something to be suspicious of (I'm fearing the worst, like it slipped in a trojan my anti-virus software didn't catch)?
Or does clicking yes on the message that popped up mean nothing bad? My anti-virus software is good (Avast).
