I received this in email today.<br />thought id post it here if you havent seen it<br /><br /><!--coloro:#FFFF00--><span style="color:#FFFF00"><!--/coloro-->This is a warning for some of you that have received an email from &quot;admin@steambans.com&quot; with a link to a supposed new game-portal: &lt;b&gt;Do NOT click the link.&lt;/b&gt;<br /><br />As this is a recent event and investigation is still pending I will not make any statements towards the cause yet, but this is what I have concluded thus far:<br /><br />1. Only some people registered here received the mail.<br />2. E-mail addresses not registered here also got the mail.<br />3. The e-mail address used (admin@steambans.com) is not an existing e-mail address, the technique used is a commonly used one to send seemingly trustworthy information and not something we can control.<br /><br />Nonetheless, as proper Samaritans we have sent all the information available to us to the ISP and filed so-called &#39;abuse reports&#39; at the related web instances.<br /><br />Again, do NOT click the link - and if you did, make sure to run a virus and spayware scan. Below are a few programs I recommend in case you did:<br /><br />&lt;u&gt;Spyware&lt;/u&gt;<br />- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lavasoft Ad-Aware&lt;/a&gt;<br />- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Spybot Search and Destroy&lt;/a&gt;<br /><br />&lt;u&gt;Anti-virus&lt;/u&gt;<br />- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Avast&#33;&lt;/a&gt;<br />- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kasperky  Online Scanner&lt;/a&gt;<br /><br />&lt;i&gt;Steambans newsletter dispatched at 15/03/08 2:01:52 PM by KillahInstinct&lt;/i&gt;<br />&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.steambans.com&quot; target=_blank&gt;steambans.com&lt;/a&gt;<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
