This site has been blocked. For some reason the poster of this message thought he would spread a holiday virus through our forum. The IP address of this poster is:

38.33.36.110

His ISP has been notified.

Thanks Jason,

I enjoy reviewing sites and might have got the virus if not for your diligence. Thanks again.

Regards,
Kevin

Thanks Jason,

Although I don't comment on every site that asks for it (only because I usually can't expand on what Kevin says!), I normally visit all of them.

Hehe...that does reminds me though.....I need to update my antivirus software......lol!

No problem Steve, yep Kevin sure is thorough, and he usually gets to a site first. If there's a problem, he'll find it (of course he also offers fantastic constructive criticism) :D.

The virus on this guys page was pretty nasty. It was a forced download of trojan .exe file, which actually contained at least 2 viruses. Luckily I was running Vshield which caught it before it made it to my computer. Immediately following the event I updated my software also, and ran another scan.

However in the end the joke will be on our good friend James. I first contacted his webhost to have his account deleted, I then tracked down his ISP through his IP address so they would cancel his Internet account. He'll have fun trying to sign on Monday morning :D
