Virus control

Post by Bitza »

How come all of a sudden are we getting alot of BOTS?

I accidentally clicked on one of these things ( I have all the latest virus and anti spam controls) yet it took over my PC and took nearly a week to get it clean!!!!!!

Maybe one or two got through and told their mates, who told their mates etc.....

They are being deleted as soon as they are seen until a better solution comes along.

Run enough forums in my time to know they need security measures...

If you can upgrade the forum version it would be adviseable too. New versions generally come with image confirmation, unless its a highly advanced bot it cant read the text in the image and cant pass verification ;)
