There's an issue with virus spam links being added to SideReel, so make sure to avoid downloading anything from these sites and those like them.
The page looks like you need to upgrade your flash player, but it actually installs a virus. (See post image for an example.)
These sites have been banned for this issue:
opepisodesonline.info
episodesforever.info
episodesnow.info
goepisodes.info
Please remove any links for these sites and if you see any other sites that look like this, report them to spamsucks@sidereel.com so we can get those banned and removed too.
Thanks from the SideReel team for your help!
Check out some very helpful moderator suggestions on clearing the virus if you did download it:
Fix that blasted "Adobe Update" virus
If you have any questions, shoot us an email at contact@sidereel.com.

Hey,
Please Add jitty.us to the list of banned sites as well, because it was the one that got my laptop infected.
I would also like to point out that I was able to get rid of the virus completely, thanks to the guys at Kaspersky.com (Lucian Bara, to be specific).
So, if any of you guys clicked YES on the "update your Adobe flash player" message, and ended up having the same virus I had, you can take consult from Kaspersky's official forum (http://www.forum.kaspersky.com). They're really helpful!
-- If you also want to take a look at the topic I created there, and take a look at the procedure I went through to get rid of the damn virus, here you go(You have to register there first):

Thanks ZakAlami for sharing that!
We got jtty.us this morning and please don't hesitate to share if you see any others.

One example of this that I deleted was The O.C Season 5!? If you see anything stupid like this, then DON'T click it!! Seriously, why do these people enjoy destroying people's computers??
