<s>The links install a virus called CEILIDH.EXE which turns your machine into a zombie.</s>

This is probably not exactly correct, our forum may use CEILIDH.EXE as it's engine, but there's an exploit that allows a malicious user to create a denial of service attack using machines that have been compromised. I have to presume that "cheepie" is trying an exploit, especially since he's now trying to sell drugs as well. If nothing else we don't need him on our forum.

Here's [url="http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/9414/9414.html"]more information[/url].

I apologize to the forum for the multiple posts, but I felt the danger warranted a bit of spam to warn folks. Especially since it was past midnight on the west coast, and there was a likelihood of no action to be taken for a number of hours. Better to be annoyed than having to rebuild your computer.
