There have been multiple cases of people being left messeges in their FM shops about them being in a training video they saw you on at kingmaple.com. This website is set up so if you go to try and see this supposed video. it will tell you that a new version of flash is required. It will prompt you to download it and if you look you aren't actually at the official flash website. The download does contain a keylogger in it. This is a warning to stay away from this site and to ignore any messeges that direct you to it for any reason. This is just a warning for those who are not already aware of the site.

This link has a screen shot of the exact messege left in FM

Edit:Apparently the site has been removed. Hurray for a failure at account stealing

Yeah, I know there have been a lot of scams similar to this in the past. This one seems pretty well thought out though. I also wanted to specify the site to avoid, as well as inform newer players since not everyone has played maple for a long time and can be really foolish and overlly trusting.

I avoided that trick yesterday on another site, but it wasn't MS related.

Don't EVER download ANYTHING from a site that you don't know about.

Many people probably don't know about keyloggers anyway.

Most antivirus programs will pick it up and remove it since they usually detect spyware too, but if that doesn't work you may want to find a antispyware program to remove it. If anyone has a specific program they know works please post it.
