Virus Alert!

olde_fashionedI usually hate doing things like this, but I don't want any of my friends to get a virus, so I'm posting it anyway. Gathering from what I've heard from a few sources, apparently there is a bit of nasty Malware Virus spreading through the social networking sites...including LiveJournal. It targets communities, generating a mod-ish looking post informing the membership that the community is being closed, and then deletes all the community's entries. The post includes a couple of links which, when clicked, will infect the clickee, compromising their personal info as well as their f-list.
Bottom line, DON'T CLICK THE LINKS.
There is a screencap of just such a post HERE, and more info HERE.
I think it would be wise to alert the moderators of any communities you see displaying a post like this, to try and cut down on the number of people affected. Better safe than sorry!
