Hi diablo32

The attack:

I clicked on the link and looked at the page, it seemed strange that someone else was offering LW Pro for free when it costs $18.88 from Limewire.com.

Anyway, I closed the page and started write a reply to your post when Nortons warned me that someone was trying to access my PC through a port commonly used by a Trojan.

At a guess, I was on the web page long enough for my IP address to be captured and long enough for an auto attack to be launched. If I did not have my (Norton) firewall I would have been infected with something.

Now, I could be blaming this web page unfairly and it is possible that I could have been attacked by someone monitoring this forum or an autobot or worm, at this stage I just don't know.

Note, I did not download anything or action anything that could lead to a download.

PS. Next time, if there is a next time, I'll trace the attack.
