    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) 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

    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

    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!

    Most people that download it deserve to be hacked, they shouldn't try and do it to others/be selfish. The spelling in that is really bad... and the image is ripped but meh. Some people would fall for it.
