Hello everyone. I startet on second life three days ago and have allready experianced alot of worrying things in the game and all of this leads me to uninstalling the game on my third day. This makes me very sad, because i allready meet new people wich i have talket with all the time, when i have been online in the game and it hurts to quit the contact with them allready. Now i tell what i experianced and why i had to uninstall the game from Start to finish. On my first day i was exploring the world and somehow ended up in a place callt ''Canine Cove'' (mature place) explored thoses clubs/bars and walket out and wondered what was down the road from there, at the end of the road there was a house (This is the first time i see one of these black square's/boxes) When i get near this house i noticee a [black box/square] pupup for a mili scound up in the left conor of my screen. Inside the house i found a in-game computer wich i clicked on, when i cliked on it i noticed one of these black square boxes again and at this point i tought it was somepart of the secound life game and it was completely normal. On my secound day i was shoping in a mall named something like Alienmarket i cant remember the exact name, the reason i mention this is because my game crashed two times when i was inside one of these shopping malls The Third day is the Scary one. On the third day i'm together with one of my new in-game friends and we had to teleport to some place because i forgot to buy a thing for my dress the day before, i tell her to go to the place and send me a teleport because i dont know how to get to that place myself. I click on the teleport and exactly the same time as when i land there one of these black Square Boxes shows up in the left conor of my screen! and my anti-virus goes in full alarm mode telling me my computer is under Attack! and i look into it and see all red colors because its rated as a High Risk/major attempt at intrusion into my computer! I'm telling my in-game friend whats going on and logging off as fast as possible, shut down my computer and took a break. I dont know what to think of it, maybe it was just a freak accident i'm thinking. Maybe it was not related to Second Life i'm thinking. I'm wrong!. I come back online later and the same friend sends me a teleport to the exact same place as last time and BoOom [Black Square/Box] pupup in the left conor of my screen and my anti-virus program goes Warning your computer is under attack! all over again! I want to hear if you guys playing Second Life has had simmilar experiences, hope the people from Second Life will look into this I will try to download the game one more time and if something like this happens again i will quit the game for good

I received an item from a person whom I did not feel comfortable with. I suspect the item may be adware or a virus. How do I have it examined? Chloe

Please grant the following, both your attention and concern. I'm hopeful this report will be forwarded/circulated, to help bring more swift and effective actions in resolving the matter. ********** has been attacking residents with debilitating viruses and for no reason attacked my avatar, rendering it useless. I've had others tell me about resident ********** and how he infects their avi with directed viruses. It's my understanding that these attacks have been reported with no action taken. Please waste no time stopping **********. I have never had any contact with this resident, ********** before. He attacks anyone he pleases, without provocation. Teleporting out of that area ended the assault. I was wrong about the attack(virus) ending when teleporting out of that area. My avi won't stop walking/running while standing. I have deleted the HUD folder and changed avi. No solution found. I have two problems needing help with: 1) ********** needs to be stopped. Please report your individual attention to this matter concerning ********** attacks against random SL residents. 2) My avi is essentially ruined with whatever script ********** attached to it. Please help me figure out how to correct this aggression. Thank you, ChoiceRider - SL Resident
