Someone named Underboss was spamming a link in every thread that when clicked on automatically started a download which I think was a virus and then you got about 50 popup ads so you wouldn't notice the download in the background.
Thanks to everyone who tried to let people know about it before something dumb happened and thanks to Jack and IE for getting rid of it about 5 minutes after it was posted, great job!
FWIW: If you have a popup blocker and some Norton anti virus, nothing happens. I clicked on it and ran a few scans to make sure I didn't get the virus (stinger and Spyhunter) Safe here!
