Fi Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Couple of times in the last few days I have received email notification that a new post has been made on a couple of fairly old threads. It is always a different user, but the post on the email readsNormal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONEorNormal 0 21 false false false FR X-NONE X-NONEIf I click on "view topic" on the email, I am told the forum no longer exists.Is it the forum or me? If it's a nasty virus, I need to do something about it!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 No virus, no... [:)]The code usually appears when a post is created as word processor document and then pasted as a forum post.This is often (not always, but very often) done by a new forum user pretending to provide useful info, but really wanting to advertise his goods, shop, services or whatever else he thinks the forum should know about...The user will invariably post the same useless info on several threads and maybe several other forums.The reason the post no longer exists is because the mods will have deleted it.

Fi Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks for that info! I'm a little paranoid at the moment after middle son downloaded some tripe from youtube which had some nasty little friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
