over the past 3 days I have been attacked 4 times by two different computers loaded with the back door/sub 7 trogan virus and only when accessing this and the other armourama NMS site.

so beware and check your computers you may be spreading it to your modeling mates computer

Thanks for warning cliff

I have Norton antivirus constantly running on the background when the pc is running he will scan every half an hour. That`s how i configurated it. If he finds something that comes near a virus or something that doesn`t belong in your computer he will warn you with a screen that says something like: "dude i found something that doesn`t belong in your computer I`m just sending my troops to kill it" you clickaway this screen and within two minutes he comes back with a new screen that says: "kill succesfull"
Now many of you will have Norton antivirus or the complete Norton software package.
for those who haven`t I recommend that they download it because this is one of the best programms to keep your pc clean.

anyway thanks Cliff for warning all of us

And always keep you antivirus program updated.

Yes the risks, I am afraid, are high for users that may occasionally post their email address in a post or other area that a virus spider can pick up. I have recieved numerous emails (all cleaned by my McAfee Online virus protection) that are sent to email accounts that are barely even known about. For instance today I got emails sent to support@ and advertising@. Both of these only appear in one or two places on the site.

The PM system is certainly one way to get around this trap. Also the email link on the profile page will only appear to registered users. So...use an email link in your sig line (or a message) at your own risk.

I am thinking that the whole Internet is seeing a huge increase in the number and freqency of these kind of virus attacks. But you never know. Someone could be intentionally targeting certain sites and their users. Pretty petty if you ask me.
