Dont click on 'girlfriend pictures'
Now the slimeball who's been trying to keylog Basil users has changed tactics and is posting "My Ex-Girlfriend Pictures" on Basil, trying to get people to click his link and download his keylogger. Don't do it.
There's been one here in General Maplestory, and one in Chat. Hopefully nobody has fallen for those.
Don't EVER click on anything like this, and especially don't ever download a file from a file-sharing site that someone posts here on Basil. 99% of the time it's a keylogger.
Edit- in this case the slimeball tells you to click his link which takes you to a filesharing site. Then you have to download his file and unRar it, then click on the file to run it.
If you didn't do all of that, you're safe. Just clicking on his link doesn't do anything harmful.

If you see any of these threads feel free to completely bypass the reports box by submitting all of us a PM. We'll be able to take care of the threads much quicker that way. For the time being, don't download [i]anything[/i] people are offering you via filesharing sites (linking to filesharing sites isn't allowed anyway) on Basil, who knows what might be in there?
stp sispendng mi plz
They just tried again with an "Interactive Maplestory Price Tool" in General Maplestory.
Pretty much DON'T download anything on Basil.
Picture links and YouTube are OK, but anything that requires you to download a file or run a program is very suspicious and no matter how enticing it sounds, DON'T DO IT.
It's a safe bet that you should never download an executable file from anyone on Basil.
[quote=BobR]Yeah, you have to actually unRar his file and run it to be keylogged.[/quote]
Well that's a relief. Thanks for the heads up.
[quote=ZombieOverlord]So if I just clicked on his link and closed right after I'm okay?[/quote]

@qtprincessxoxo You should scan your computer immediately. I'd use both an anti-virus like Microsoft Security Essentials and than follow that up with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I didn't test those on this keylogger, but they should pick it up if you got infected.
[quote=BobR]Slimeball tells you to click on his link and download a file, then you have to run the file to get his "girlfriend pics", which is when you get keylogged.

[quote=Casey]Thanks for the warning, cowboy! Do you have to download something if it's a keylogger or will it just appear on your computer?[/quote]

You're fine as long as you didn't download.
I clicked the link on my phone but didn't click the download button. Am I ok?
Well I clicked that link he sent us.
Is there a keylogger in that?
