    Default Habbo Offers Contained Virus !

    So i decided to try the Habbo offers aka Earn credits. When i downloaded one, I decided to scan my computer. Anyway I look at the finished scan results and to my shock it said on the file that i just downloaded that it contained a level 4 severity Malware Infection! I'm just glad i scanned it and removed it fast enough! Also it's on the offer "Whitesmoke toolbar" So be careful about the offers!

    Cheers David, I'm surprised Habbo haven't looked into this but they don't care about us players anymore

    They're more hooked about the profits they make from these virus people paying them for the advertisement!

    Email Habbo or something, doubt it'll come to anything but by some miracle it might!
    One for the road. :rolleyes:

    It was posted in the habbo earn credits page. Therefore you would expect it to be safe.
