Now, a request from me... there's plenty of people using WAU... could we get a confirmation from someone with a post count higher than 1? (I'm not saying I don't trust the users that may be reporting a legitimate issue, I'm just saying this whole thing looks suspiciously like an attempt at flamebait).
Just as a note, the Trojan my system detected back on the 4th was a different one from the one that is currently being reported (winfixer). (As far as I could tell the advert that contained the trojan was removed a day or two after I detected it).
It's also a bit disconcerting the other thread degenerated into in-fighting and bickering amongst the admins / moderators and for whatever reason got locked. All I did was post a threat which would probably have affected thousands of people who use the WAU. Yes, I know this is a new account with 1 post total, but I don't hang out here and post.
