As a couple of you know to your cost, there has been a virus doing the rounds. I think it's possibly a trojan called noobs.gen - (thanks to ^Joshua for getting the info on that) - what happens is that as soon as a user enters the room on mIRC or pirch, they are pm'd an address to a porn site that is nothing to do with either thehun or freenakedchicks. If the site is clicked on by someone using mIRC or pirch, a trojan is placed in their remote script that sets them off pm'ing other users. If ANYONE pm's you with an address to a porn site (something like xxxgirls16xxx, I think), do NOT open the link. If you're not using an irc client to get to thehun, my advice is to get a live update from your anti-virus software and run a scan. Hopefully we've seen the last of it cos I had to ban the person it originally came from, even though I suspect she didn't even know she had the virus as she was a java guest, but better to be safe.
