User USA all the way is trying to hijack your computer
« on: September 22, 2008, 06:36:18 AM »
This guy is trying to redirect unwilling users to a site that will try to take control of your browser and possibly your machine.  Don't click the link!

Okay, so you're letting us know.  Thanks...

But did you report him to the info@ballreviews.com ?

They've failed to ban his IP in his many reincarnations so I don't see the point.  Just trying to help.

I think he deleted his Original Post before the BR Techs could know about it.

Ban added. Please do let us know when you see a post like this so that we can respond. Just so everyone knows, IP blocks are not perfect and are not an effective deterrent against someone who wants to get around them. Please trust that if it was that simple to get rid of pests, they would be gone much more permanently.
