VIRUS WARNING: I was using FlashFlashRevolution.com and Rithum.com this afternoon and was infected on two different computers from both domains by the PURITYSCAN VIRUS and maybe more. Both of these domains are administrated by Synthlight. On one computer I was using FFR; when it was infected, I moved to a different computer and used Rithum. That second computer got the same infection. Symantec Antivirus, Ad-aware, and a lot of manual work was required to clear the damage. I would advise avoiding these domains until there is confirmation from the administrators that they have fixed the problem and provided security to prevent it from happening again.

...So, what do you think, guys? Reverse psychology or viral marketing by Symantec?
