he has removed his link. git

we were working late last night trying to finnish a project for today (sat) and while rendering i was telling a girl in work about my challange entry and how good the other the others were looking so she came here. in this thread she found a link which she thought was a image link (not regested user) , clicked on it and it asked to install some video codec. she did as she thought it was a update to are softwear. within minites it started to delete files from c:\. it then spread to 4 other machines b4 we knew what was going on.

as you can tell we were more than alittle pissed. luck though it did not get to the main server and we only lost about 1 hours work and some programs, (photoshop, zbrush). Our teck guy also got a bollicking about how safe the network was.

now i not mad at the mods here at all, and i still love this site but that guy - we will b having words.

heres hoping no more trouble on this useally peaseful site.

p.s - the work we done this week will be posted in the w.i.p after.
