Default E-mail Worm

I got an e-mail today from a member that contained a link to a worm, just be on the look out if you get an e-mail with nothing more than a link.

strange that you never mentioned the member by name so that others can be alerted.
Perhaps the member could then get a TOU suggesting they go away.

Because the worm could infect other computers so it may attack from a different user.

They may also not even be aware of it. Did you email them back Shaun?

I've had quite a few of those over the years from people on my contact list. It is usually that they get some virus/worm that automatically sends a URL to everyone of their contacts without their knowledge. The best course is to alert them to the fact so that they can remove it.
