Mod Note: Virus in Home Page!

[Guest guest]

Ok, this is happening in several different groups so thought I better

put out an official warning. I saw that it's happening in 's

embroidery group too, so it's not just one group.

This also happened to me a couple months back and it's a booger of a virus, so please pay attention.

DO NOT check your group messages through the groups homepage. This goes for ANY GROUP right now.

The servers seem to have a virus attached to them right now. I do not know how long it will take them to fix it.

This virus is VERY tricky. When it hits your computer, it will pop up a

WINDOWS security window. And trust me, it looks EXACTLY like a

microsoft windows message. I almost fell for it. It will tell you that

you need to run/install a virus scan

and if you click ok, it will start to download a virus into your

computer. It is VERY OFFICIAL looking, so please do not be fooled by

this.

If you get a message like that, you need to completely turn off your

computer. Don't click anything. Just cut the power supply. Then you can

reboot and you need to do a FULL virus scan.

This appears to only be happening when people are checking the messages

by going to each groups homepage and it appears to only be happening at

random.

So for a while, until we can know they have it fixed, DO NOT check

messages from the homepage. Just read them through you regular email

and you should be fine.
