I have recieved the same email,
my anti virus blocked me going onto the site yesterday, and I asked if anyone could contact diego to inform him?
I dont know his email address or anything so I cant contact him, and the anti virus wont let me onto the site.
Fingers crossed that they can get rid of it.

Yes - unfortunately we must confirm that yesterday night a nasty hacker somehow crept into our forum software and sent a fake message saying "Congratulations! You are new moderator of our forum. If you agree, download key file." to a number of our registered users.
In case you have received such a message, please DO NOT click the link provided in the fake message, because it would start the dowload of a trojan virus that may cause damage to the files on your computer.
We are taking serious actions to avoid that such a nasty thing will happen again in the future. In the meantime, please disregard any e-mail message from the forum without our names on it - and IN ANY CASE do not click any link on the message.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience and bear with us with this difficult situation.
Best regards,
Paola Arosio & Diego Meozzi

In case of need, my e-mail address is:

When I tried to go to the forum yesterday it attempted to start a download, clicking on any links of the forum caused the russian website address to appear in the status bar as well. I think there's more to the attack than just emails being sent out.

Can you please check again if this is happening also today? We have made several test with multiple computers and the forums now seem fine. We checked our forum magamenet software thoroughly, and we believe that kind of behaviour is likely to be triggered by a computer that's already been attacked by the trojan virus. Have you ever clicked the malignant link on the fake message that was sent out? Have you checked if your computer has already been "infected"?
Again, sorry for any inconvenience
