Email Notice From Bassfishin.com I received...

Mac2 · 02-20-10, 10:12 AM

I got an email from Edmond that my computer contained a virus, but in reality it's a low risk tracking cookie I've deleted many times. The link provided in the email to fix the problem does not work.

My Norton takes care of the intruding tracking cookie during scans and ranks it as a low risk..... The problem with sending out such information is that it's done without a way of communicating in return......a No Reply Email.

I should hope that if a link is provided in the future, that it would work. Thank you, Mac 2

Sounds to me like you got hit with a spammer

Mac... This is a forum spammer that sent it via Private Message. The PM was subsequently emailed to you via notification setting.

Please disregard it as spam. I have taken action to prevent this in the future.

There is no, and never has been, a virus threat here. YOU ARE SAFE!

Kevin, thanks for your timely comeback and assurance. It's sincerely appreciated.

Good Fishing, Mac
