we've had 3 threads about this, but yes
WHAT IS GOING ON!?: there is a virus going around in GMOD where upon joining, forces the server to upload the virus, and execute said virus, infecting all players
WHAT IT DOES: there have been reports of people having their usernames changeed to "VIN'LL FIX IT" and spamming various people in steam chat saying "*cough* *cough*"
HOW CAN I AVOID THIS VIRUS??: DO NOT PLAY GMOD MULTIPLAYER SERVERS! it is that simple.
HELP! WHAT DO I DO IF I GET INFECTED?? uninstall GMOD and reinstall it. |

How do you get the virus? Joining servers or is it somehow automatically put onto Gmod?

@badfitz if you join a infected server, it downloads a file that makes you change your username to "FIX IT VINH@@" and spam people with "*cough cough*" |

@ al the virus actually exists, and you can only get it if you join servers with "!!!" in the beginning of their name, AKA infected servers you can't change your steam name back though
