Err... I clicked the links before I found out what was going on about these being troll posts linked to viruses, and as soon as I got a download prompt I immediately canceled since it looked suspicious... Am I safe or can I expect something bad to happen to my computer/FFXI soon? =(

Well, as long as you have an up-to-date virus scanner and did not run the files in question, you _should_ be safe. Although these types of files (ie. designer viruses) never make it into AV DAT files, it may contain other components that could be flagged.

Last time I checked, it was a self-decompressing executable, so I'm not sure what else it could contain. Just to be on the safe side, run a virus check, and make sure not to blindly click on links the next time around.

It appears they are back again this time different usernames.

All are limited to the job forums from what I can gather.
