Just did the system recovery to earlier state, hopefully it will help. I have Kaspersky installed and it didn't warn me at all For future reference, I recommend Avast as an antivirus scanner. It caught what he was trying to pass on, though I feel dumb for falling for it, at least my antivirus scanner protected me from it. It's an excellent antivirus scanner, and it's free. yup, avast is good antvirus, but its so fucking annoying with its alerts and messages. one last thing, i feel like its my duty to advise everyone here to download Malware Bytes Anti Rootkit. its a free rootkit remove tool and it works. even if a virus blocks it from running, it will automatically restart your computer and run as soon as dos is booted. really handy for dealing with viruses/malware/rootkits.

My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.

Incredible how successful this was.
I remember the good old days when the average Internet age of the Bitcoin troop was well over one year. Seems you people just finally got cable installed last week?

The only free thing that posting a message on an internet discussion will get you nowadays is a shoutout on a youtube video, for people expecting anything more than a scam. lold

Funny because if you click the quote, it brings you to a random thread - he probably grabbed a random ID to make it seem legit. That instantly rings warning bells, why can't people click a quote >_>
I received this PM too.

I'm ashamed to say I fell for it. I thought it was a wallet file and accidentally clicked on it while I was trying to import the keys. I deleted the file and scanned my computer for problems. I thought I removed the problem and went to bed. I woke up about twenty minutes ago and saw my mouse moving by itself. Someone had messed with my firewall settings, opened up bitcoin-qt, and had just downloaded a file called _DVSoy.exe from plasmon.ghost.ru.

I always just in case it is legit. Even though I know how stupid it is. I knew it was going to end up like this. As soon as I saw the link I was like....not again. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same guy as last time. I would search the old thread which was so successful last time. I can't remember the name or the person who did it. I don't know if it got deleted either. Otherwise I would expect to see legitnick posted on there claiming he had received his Bitcoin.
This isn't the last time this is going to happen either. It's going to happened again and again. People will still fall for it. I have not fell for this or the last one. It's just stupid. You don't know the person. The person claimed no links would be involved and the Bitcoin would just be sent to you're address. Yet, he went against his word. That raises another flag. I know when people look at the message and think "OMG" and want to rush to receive their Bitcoins and that's when most people don't think about it just do it. Then say later how did I fall for that. Well, I hope in future people will not fall for this.

He was hacked with the last wave.
Legitnick was 100% NOT hacked. Proof: the username "Obama" is one that he lists in every one of his phishing award PM's. Interestingly, in this thread, the username "obama" (likely operated by legitnick) made a post asking to buy other user names. legitnick "responded" to obama to offer his usernsme for $3.50 - likely to try to get others to do the same: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=238432.msg2525299#msg2525299This was long premeditated, folks. He also had hundreds of posts in only a few weeks, to raise his "activity" rating.

I cant believe someone fell for that
this times like, 5 billion. people these days ***USERNAME r3wd (who posted in this thread) might be a legitnick sockpuppet***** In the thread below, username "obama" (used in his "award" pm's, and likely a legitnick sockpuppet), offers to buy r3wt's account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=238432.msg2591196#msg2591196 Now, r3wd is posting in these scam-alert threads, acting like he's appalled at such an act.

And just how are they going to police that No, mods should just get rid of the self-mod thread already. Delenda est!

On my system the downloaded file opened up access to DarkComet RAT. They used that to remote onto my system to try installing other software. In the details of the file they downloaded, Dell Datasafe was mentioned. It looks like a service similar to Dropbox.

True, you're right, it does have a ridiculous amount of popups. I've tried to turn them off but couldn't figure out how. As far as the scam...well, I suppose a giveaway by a guy named "legitnick" should have been a giveaway. After all, if you have to go the trouble of claiming that you're legit, you probably aren't. (See also Bernie Madoff for other instances of people doing exactly what their name implies.)

People will have to visit another forum in order to bst accounts.
