    New virus going around?

    So, lately I've noticed random people from my friends list that I trust sending me the following:

    Q bro. check what item droped me in game [scam link]
    Pretty sure once you click this link, you'll be sending this to your friends list yourself, and I highly advise noone to click on these links.
    It seems like a picture on gyazo.com, but if you look closely, it's gyazyo, not gyazo.

    Ive been sendt a couple of those. I was stupid enough to click on one of them, and i started downloading a file, which was supposed to be a screenshot file. But i had to install it so i just deleted it. Pretty sure these files are the ones that trades all your steam items over to the scammers profile.

    I think as long as you dont install it the file is harmless, but double checking the addresses is a good thing to keep in mind!

    The file i received was named FN_BFKNIFE.scr or something, camouflaged as a screenshit file which i could open or install. So look out for .scr files and never open one! XD

    ive had so many different people wanting to trade my awp asiimow by showing a link i lost count. main thing is. i block everyone i dont trust opening a chat by saying ''i want to trade'' ''check out my items'' or giving me a link. and i suggest people to do the same. when it comes to links, i report them as well, you never know right?

    yes i was also stupid enough to click the first one, AND ofcourse i got a file that installed itself. this mid game of cod, wich also resulted in a fucking vac ban (mw3, no big loss). luckily my virusprogram eventually isolated that shit because some Adbrowser shit, and a huge struggle to remove it. c:

    i think im safe

    Never liked when someone asked to trade ;/ Either because I basically know shit about trading, usually people start whining "BUT WHY"; "COME ON" and also had a chance to see people trying to scam me (Like I had something really valuable).

    You can download as many viruses as you want and you're safe as long as you don't double click the file and execute it. (I obviously don't recommend downloading any viruses/fishy files in the first place, but this is just a fyi)

    More than likely the person downloaded the file and figured it was a picture and tried to open it and that's how it happened.

    I got it mutiple times and luckily didn't open the download or I would have been screwed, thanks for telling the community though.

    New virus going around?

    I got one from ginger who apparently got one from milkman.

    advice: if someone sends you a link through steam or anywhere, ask what it is. Especially on steam.

    I got one today, which was a good one, the domain was picturupload....its not a screenshot, its a screensaver file that probably is disguised as something else. These guys are getting pretty clever.

    Yeah... Spyder got this correctly.... Milkman is the main one on steam that has been spreading it to everyone on SG just be careful.... If you were really smart you would see the difference between the links.... Duh..
