This alert from WebSense Security Labs seems to describe some of the postings we've seen and deleted on the BOL threads. Those few we have seen are made in the middle of the night. When we discover them, or readers click the moderator name to notify us, we take action to delete them. We've had no reports of problems to BOL users caused by these, and we want to keep it that way.

As you should always do on the net, beware of links you didn't ask for and keep your guard up with firewall and virus protection. Notify a moderator when you see these so we may act.

Some of these posts, which appear to be valid news stories, want you to go to sites that will attempt to infect a PC with a Trojan. This can open your PC to use by others.
