Don't click PM-links on IRC without thinkin'

Just a reminder, please don't just click random links PM'ed to you on IRC, they *can* be trojans. Especially .ru's, .pl's, and other East European domains.

I'm not talking about "hey Jace, look at this: http://lala.com", but if someone randomly PM's you and says NOTHING but e.g. "http <--- l0l", it's prolly a trojan. Ask them if they just sent you a link first, because, if they're under the influence of a trojan, they won't know they've just sent you the link.

This was just a reminder, related to a round of ".pl/mistiq.jpg" trojans that's come around. Remember, if someone PMs you such a link, tell them, so they can google for a fix.

PS: Use Mozilla!

If you use Mozilla, you are *most likely* safe from that particular trojan.

I *think* this should fix it if you've been infected.
Remember to run regular antivirus checks people :)

They are dangerous :eek:
