Not sure the correct protocol for this but here goes

This morning I had an e-mail from WIX that my malware caught before I did anything stupid:

New Update to fix Windows File Errors <software_innovations5@cyteri.com>

As follows:
File Error Notification - Instructions To fix File Errors in your Registry:

Your PC may be suffering from serious file errors in your WINDOWS registry which may be the reason why your PC is running so slow, or crashing and freezing from time to time. Also, these can lead to major system problems and possible memory leaks.

Below are instructions that will enable you to Increase Your Computer's Speed, Power, Stability and Reliability in just a few minutes.

Press below to launch the Diagnostics Test download:
h<tt>p://cyteri.com/tr.php?129651+eahs.execdirector@shawbiz.ca


Once again, this offer includes our -FREE Software-, -FREE Analysis-, -FREE Report- and -24 Hour Support- !

If after completing the -free Diagnostic Test- it is brought to your attention that your computer's registry does contain file "errors", then it may be in your computer's best interest to fix the potentially harmful file errors in your registry.

Press below to launch the Diagnostics Test download now:
h<tt>p://cyteri.com/tr.php?129651

So I wanted to advise the great folks that are running this site of the issue and warn all the members as quickly as possible.

I hope I did this the correct way...if not I apologize in advance but it seemed the best way to get word out fast and notify the admin and mods

Tom

Edit your post and remove an 'h' or 'http' from the links so people don't accidentally click on them. Or just remove the links entirely.
