Hello there, and I have some bad news to tell you.
There were some threads about "kitchen for sale" I saw yesterday in this board. I told the user who posted it it's spam. Later I got a JS:Script virus. I was so scared I have to install an anti-virus and so I safely removed it. I hope I never experience such thing again.

Those members were spammers, the posts were removed yesterday and the members banned.

Some do slip through the net.  However, to be safe - please do not "click" onto strange links nor reply to the same  :hug:

Comprehensive anti-virus software is always wise when suring the net. As Jenee said, we can't filter 100% of spammers as all softwares and systems have limits, but we try our best to minimise such problems and hazards to computers and devices by installing and managing as many programs as possible.

Oh, thanks! Since that time I will be careful on what to click on. I have also removed the virus from my computer and my computer is fine now.  :happy15:
