Not sure where i should have put this

I got an email from
Coralforum@coralforum.com
saying that i was now an admin on the coralforum and then at the bottom is a link and i know it is a not fo rthe site but i got pretty good protection on my machine so i went to it and it looks chek. and it puts nasty spyware in your machine so if you get an email dont go to the link

and Zack if you need me to forward it to you let me know

Please ignore the email. It is a spoof like you would receive from paypal or other sites. I am very sorry about this!

Khann, you are brave. I saw the ".ru" and was too afraid to even click the link, even though I was curious.

I clicked on that link too, but the site was so slow to load that I just closed the browser. I'll check with my spyware checker and my adaware but Im pretty sure nothing went onto my machine in the small amount of time I sat there waiting for the page to load.

By the way, when I tried to send it to coralforum@coralforum.com it was rejected. So I dont even know if coralforum@coralforum.com is a valid email, Im guessing not.

It was probably a masked name, there are tools to falsify information in an email. there are tools to do almost everything
