this is taken from the ETF2L forums - <a href="http://etf2l.org/forum/gene...t=5069 ----------------------------------- AcidReniX The Last Resort United Kingdom 1 day ago My steam account has been hacked. Someone on my friends list passed on a slideshow to me, i did scan before opening and thought meh! Firewall + virus scan will protect me. No, it didn’t. If my steam account sends you anything, don’t open it. It was passed onto me by Syrax (an american guy) who’s account was also hacked. And he got it from some other yank. So expect this thing to spread fast. Just incase anyone else gets their shit fucked as well. I’ve changed my e-mail password etc.. on a different computer, and attempting to get the account back. But yea, take it as a warning. Fuckers :/ ----------------------------------- dont open any attachments from anyone including your mates |

My screensaver is only on when I'm gone so it would be kind of pointless. Nevertheless .scr files have been the source of viruses eversince I can remember.

there is also another scheme out there, it invites you to the Team fortress 3 BETA, if you fall for it you can wave goodbye to your account
