To the person that posted a link to an actual virus before. My PC is now infected!

Serves you right? Why don't you read the whole post before you click on the first hyperlink that catches your eye?

You must be terrible when those eBay scams come through...

I actually opened it in another tab in Firefox to read after i'd read the rest of the opening post.

My fault? Sorry, but i don't expect retards to KNOWINGLY post actual links to virus's on this forum.

You click on the hyperlink when the next five workds were, "but don't click on it"?

It didn't actually say anything on the link that would make me NOT click it.

It's like me putting as link to kiddie porn and then saying after 'but do not click it!'.

Maybe i should read posts backwards from now on! :rolleyes:

You're still missing the point. Let's try again.

READ THE WHOLE POST.

Don't patronize me!

I'll read posts how i wish. I've clicked on links before without finishing reading the whole posts simply to read later.

The whole reason this happened initially is because someone thought it would be OK to post a link to an actual virus.

Someone thought it would be OK to warn us of virus going round, he even told everyone not to click it. So that OK by my reckoning.

But why post the actual link to a virus BEFORE warning someone NOT to click it? Maybe he should have included something in the thread title to warn people. :confused:

By why click it?? It's common sense failure on both your parts.

By your own reasoning you'd have looked at child pornography by following alink before reading the whole post.

As i said, i opened the link in another tab to read after i'd read the rest of the post!

Why click it? The same could be said to 'Why post a link to a virus!'

I'd agree, if the very next sentence didn't contain the warning

Well, maybe next he will give the warning BEFORE posting the link.

Or better still, get a brain and don't post the link at all.

If i sound furious, i am. I had anti-virus running but it somehow got through.

Luckily it doesn't seem to be too severe a virus. Here

Right thats my spleen vented. Time for tea!
