This is my fifth or sixth time running into a link with malware in comics and aniamtion how do we get this person?

i reported the person but i think they keep coming back with links

Update:

i'm serious, i nearly got my own computer infected

Update 2:

this user has differnt name each time this time and he/she gives the link saying here this will help you and then the link

Update 3:

if anyone does click on it and sees the message your computer is infected would you like to download it DON'T press yes OR cancel

    yeah, me too.

    I've reported him but I think he got multiple accounts.

    He's completely a troll!

    He's stupid.

    Brainless SOB who don't have a mind!

    I've learned my lesson not to click links from untrused answerers.(sorry newbies but I think its the safest thing to do to protect your computer)

    I'll give you a star so my contacts can react on this too.

    Yep, I almost got a Trojan virus. D:

    The most disconcerting of all is that the Anti-virus software

    that I had expired 44 days ago...

    I had clicked a link on a separate question here in C&A that had "answer yahoo" in it's url. Beware fellow users! Don't even click if it has "yahoo" on it! I suggest right clicking and look for the "Properties". The important thing is to look at the end of the link. Otherwise, don't click it if it's not trustworthy.

    Thanks for the heads up, by the way. *w*

    Its a troll, there are millions of them that just post a link, if you are not careful enough then you will fall for it. I dont fall for it cause red flags are raised when i just see a person posting a link. You cant really get the person other then reporting them which will be a heavy task cause there are lots of them. Yeah ive seen that person/persons, i just report them and move on

    Just dont click on the links, i mean come on who would be stupid enough to do that.

    I've been warned once. This user deleted the link before I could see it.

    Someone asked about it too. I think there's a surge of trolls around.

    I saw malware posted here in the 'antivirus' questions.

  • Yeah! Seriously, I see it all the time. >< I almost got a virus too. Stupid trolls. >.>

    And yeah, I think they DO have multiple accounts. Their names always different. It's in a lot of different sections too.

    wow, i didn't know there was something like this where you click a link and it infects your computer. I don't know which is worse... this or the rick-roll prank.

  • 1 decade ago
