    Description:
    I had been asked to add "Ahhh Presto!" to my friend's list some time last year. I think it was for a trade deal, since one of my friends (http://steamcommunity.com/id/skepticism124359897) did not have much time to trade during weekdays, so he asked me to trade on his behalf.

    Suddenly, today, he sent me a series of chat messages. First, he asked me for some personal details, because he claimed to think that I was someone that he might have known in real life. Then, some time after, he sent me a couple of messages saying that he worked for some website that could be used to transfer craftable hats to money. After an hour, I decided to go on the website for curiosity, to see whether it was legit. Then, my anti-virus gave me a notification that there was a virus on my computer, as soon as the website had loaded. I clicked on my anti-virus and it said that a Trojan Downloaderhad been found, with the timestamp of when I had visited the website. As you can see from the screenshot, the website is

    I did not read that I needed a chat transcript in the example until after I had closed the chat window, because I didn't think I would be needing it. When I opened my chat window again (http://imgur.com/yJfFY3y) I couldn't copy the prior text that I had screenshotted... Sorry for any inconvenience, but if you visited the website, I'm sure that you would get a Trojan Downloader as well (please don't, unless you have to...). This can't be something wrong with my computer, because it has been clean of viruses since day one (last month).

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read the report... I'm not sure whether the website is still up, but I'm too scared to check. :(
    I don't want to risk getting my new computer a virus...
