The past few days, weve seen reports of sites like Twitter, Flickr, Yahoo! and numerous others, including SourceForge, being used to spread the FakeRean virus through porn-ish user profiles. Of course SourceForge does not tolerate this type of abuse. While we try and police/monitor new user accounts, we simply cannot catch them all. We would greatly appreciate your help in reporting any inappropriate user profiles, and for the love of Pete, please dont click on those even if you *are* over 18. Its tempting. We know. But its a really Bad Idea(tm) because thats how the virus is spread.

GFI Labs has an extensive write-up about the FakeRean virus, along with a screenshot of what one of these profiles might look like (just in case, you know, youre not sure what porn-ish means.)

Thanks for your help!
