A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Yeah, I've gotten two so far from a 'rollrcoastrluver'.
The first one saying, "Hey, I found a picture of you from sixth grade" with a link of a ZIP file.
The second one, which I just got now, said "Remember when we took this picture together?" with ANOTHER zip file link.
I haven't clicked on them, cause they're obviously viruses. But it's pissing me off, so I blocked them.

Maybe the webmaster can take care of that for you. I've had similar things happen from this site.... just ignore the files and keep the block on.

Yes, it's the AIM virius. Too bad these people probably don't know and are being used as a P2P server.
Block people who are not on your buddylist from IMing you, otherwise, you can't do anything about it unless you remove your Screename off of here.

Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

Those are the AIM viruses that have been going around for years. I got my first one 2 years when I had no idea what they were, then I learned to stop clicking on links from people I dont know.
Once you click on the link, about 20 minutes later you will start sending that message to everybody on your buddylist, regardless of wheether your on away message or not. It really sucks to get rid of fast enough.

Really sucks if you get it and you have people on your buddylist that you don't want to know you have on your list.

Damnit, this guy is starting to annoy me.
Dear whoever coasterlurvr is on AIM:
Please take me off your buddy list or get rid of that virus asap, I don't know who you are or why I'm on your buddy list. But it's getting annoying.
Love,
w00dland.

You can just block him so he can't send you anymore messages.
