Dear, Shadow Ravenwolf!
A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://antivirus.effectmeds.com/Shadow Ravenwolf

Sincerely, Forum Administration www.nofuture.org.uk.
Of course, once I opened the first one, I figure the second one is the same.
I know most of you out there are smart enough to look at the link and know it's some sorta scam. Unfortunately, some of you may think that AdminLady may be a real Admin entity. If it is, then I have a rich uncle in Nigeria who needs you to send him $5,000 so we can free up the 120,000,000,000 in his trust fund that he left just for me. I'll make sure you get 50,000,000 of it.
Ok, seriously, just wanted you guys to be aware that a bot has gotten loose at nofuture.
