Hi, All,

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with this.  I have received 5 message alerts to my Personal Mailbox on this site.  They all read about the same:
   
Hello..

Hello, friend. There are viruses' activities from your computer in last few days. Strongly recommend you to scan your computer. You can find a report about your computer's security and solve every problem with it here: http://www.virus-total.in/detected/suruha
Thank you. Forum member.


Now, I'm all for business promotion, but, this is a bit much!  LOL  The first time I received one of these messages was at another forum.  I thought I better try to clean up my site!  I'm a bit dense!  LOL  If you click on the link they give you, an image 'resembling' windows Anti-virus pops-up.  It is BOGUS!  Not only does it not look exactly like it should, but, it said I had 300+ viruses on my pc.  My WORD!  If I had that many, my pc wouldn't operate at all!  I eventually figured it out.

I don't wish to give the member names, unless in private and if necessary, but, several senders were 'members' and a few were guests.

Don't fall for this, ya'll.  You are probably wiser than I, but, just in case.  LOL

Hope everyone is having a very nice Valentine's Day.

Well, howdy, Al!  I didn't know if you knew about it or not.  I fell for it and I wanted to be sure no one else did.  LOL 

Your site is terrific.  I enjoyed reading about the lighthouse adventure.  Keep on keepin' on!  LOL

Hugs,

Su

Hi all,
  Warning -  I got the virus allert. I did what it promted me to do and got a virus. Had to completely have this thing wiped out and reset. Still not working just right. I may end up needing a new computer. Once the virus is in you can't do anything. I am not that smart on this thing but I won't do that again.                            Dixie
