I think more is prolly going on behind the scenes I really don't see you being the only one to ever see that link ever. And yes maulware can fool ppl. Usually. greyware sites install unknowing to you, tracking cookies. They record your web surfing habits and send the records to a server database... Now if you actually get the maulware addons that can use that info it will interfere with your browser and take control. So you clicked on a link yes but depending on the "addons" that are in your browser that link will get ignored and give the maulware a chance to speak up so to say. Now the question is why would the tracking cookies think you would like to see big black dongs? LOL.

I sugest running a program called sby-bot search and destroy. It will get rid of all them nasty cookies and browser addons.


Nope that would only be you and ill let you know why. Its impossible to get a virus from a web based forum unless you download it from a link that's in the forum. And believe me if this forum was that hacked you'd, hell every one would know. So don't download any programs .exe or archived files .zip . rar .7zip or .ace from here (even though I have never seen any) and you can rest assured that the viruses are not coming from here.


Now I may seem rude or judge mental but I'm not trying to be all I'm doing is educating you in the hacking area the same way you like to educate ppl about bit bulls. Cheers.

Now the question is Just because you are fooled into getting a trojan and have no idea how you got it. Doesn’t mean you got it from randomly visiting sites. You were tricked into getting it. Hence the term trojan horse.

The term comes from the a Greek story of the Trojan War, in which the Greeks give a giant wooden horse to their foes, the Trojans, ostensibly as a peace offering. But after the Trojans drag the horse inside their city walls, Greek soldiers sneak out of the horse's hollow belly and open the city gates, allowing their compatriots to pour in and capture Troy.

Trojan horses are impostors they spread through email attachments or downloading and running files from the internet. These programs -Trojans - cannot operate automatically and need users to run the Trojan for it to cause the damage. It is more a case of social engineering concept using human flaws to infect the computer rather than flaws in the system design or configuration. Trojans rely on fooling people to allow the program to perform actions that normally they would not allow.

Trojan horses are of two types

A useful software program is cracked and a malicious code is introduced into it by a cracker. Whenever this program is used the malicious code executes. These are usually utilities like disk scanning, clock utility, file sharing software etc.

The Trojan horse claims to be a useful program and is not. It may claim to be a game or an image file or something else. It usually tricks the user toward running it to carry out the program’s objectives.

Infection usually occurs with the consent of the victim, giving permission to download and open a program when visiting a website. It can also be transmitted via email attachment or IM chat program.

Basically the only way a website could infect you with a trojan is if you allowed it by ether downloading something you thought would be free and great or allowing the site to run unverified ActiveX controls on your computer. Also because trojans are not true viruses and cant replicate on there own the person that infected you more than likely knew that they were doing it.
