Beware of Message from takertrade

[TomCrypto]

The User TakerTrade (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=886752) seems to have been hacked. A bot on his account is currently flooding (more than 100 msg in less than an hour) the forum with message like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4688734.msg44006310#msg44006310

Don't ever click on the picture. It will download an .exe file that surely contains a virus.
Admin could you ban this user or restrain his account and delete all of its last post?
Thanks

Just report them. We had one of these yesterday, and once users click the links it likely has a knock-on effect with more users getting infected and spreading the same malware. I banned him. Will remove the posts now.

I reported 5 of its message before writing my message here.
Thank you for your help

I'm glad that others are also aware of the stinky deeds of this account. Actually, I criticized his post a while ago and also decided to report him but then there's suddenly happened. ALL of his spam posts in the Economics section vanished in a glimpse which makes me hesitate to report him (I just thought that maybe it's just a system error). So weird

OMG! I accidentally clicked on the link but I closed the tab before the link finished its loading. My question is, am I now infected by the malware? (I hope not)

If you canceled the download before its end then you're fine. And even if it's finished if you didn't launch the exe it's ok

Thanks for the reply sir, I now feel relieved.
