While reading this weeks Web User magazine there was an article on a virus help-site which tells you about virus's and online threats, there was also a huge thumbnail in the magazine showing a preview of the homepage (www.virusbtn.com (http://www.virusbtn.com)) and it included an article about a tool you could use on Habbo to get free furni, however it turned out to be a Trojan and a Keylogger.
The article on Virus Bulletin has since been removed off the homepage however with a little searching I managed to find out about it :P

They also link to another Habbo safety warning, this gives an example of what to look out for, I know most of you are wise enough not to download Habbo .exe files but this information should be useful for some and nostalgic for other's :P

Examples it gives:

It's easy to see why so many younger member's fall for it, they do look rather convincing and I reckon in my younger days I would of downloaded it!
