All of his posts have the words 'you are an idiot' in them. I think this guy needs the banning treatment if he carrys on like this.

Yes, trojans are most unfortunate; it seems that links to that particular site are on various forums, some of which are not in English.

Link clicky -> trojan insertion -> zombiefied system -> more posted links from zombie

It seems that the cycle of life extends outside of organic life forms =(

There's a regular called Erkolos on AFF, and I thought he was an alright guy. Is it the same person?

If you PM his IP address, it might be of some
value to us. Otherwise, how can we know?

You can't handle THAT at the moment... but you're perfectly capable of deleting people's non-spammy posts, closing legitimate threads and generally aggravating regular WP members. Despite the fact that you are supposed to delete spammy posts and NOT do any of the other things.

I wasn't doing those things, when I had to go to class.
I've put more effort into maintaining things than Alex
has, though less than many of the other mods.

Our mandate is somewhat vague, to say the least.
As to aggravating, I suspect that the majority of that
is simply through my posting.

You too, know where to find me, if you want to have this
out without restrictions.

That's not a virus, just a really obnoxious javascript-enabled web page. Terminate the process for your browser and it goes away.

Nah, I decided against opening it (mostly because I try to be somewhat careful what sites I visit on my work PC...although I really wish it was a work Mac...ah well). I was just going by what I read in reference to the site on a couple different forums. People said that their antivirus software picked up a trojan...probably just an exploit for a specific browser on a specific OS. Maybe I'll check it out on my linux box in a minute just to see what the hoopla is all about.

Update: It looks like a little bit of javascript nonsense with a bit of embedded flash. My guess would be that the flash app is setup to take advantage of a flaw in the flash player. There seems to be at least one that affects both Windows and Linux based flash players.

Actually, it's probably just Atomika using his handle. Atomika spams up AFF every once in a while also.
