I have this guy submitting tons of galleries to boardsbyniche.com, but all his videos links to pages like this : http://www.videosgalleries.com/mt/mi...=FF9D30&id=643
Is this ok or is this page trying to install some sort of trojan?

Google it. It's some nasty shit pretending to be video codecs.
"...media-codec.com purports to be a website offering additional codecs
for windows media player. It installs a progam called "falcon spy"
instead.
And I still have not managed to get rid of the falcon spy program. It
is one of the most annoying programs ever written constantly popping
up and demanding you purchase it. It is a new class of software
"extortionware"..." -
Thanks alot!

I am pretty sure I used that program on one of my CJ's one time
it does not install trojans but some sort of spyware I think
I stopped using it because it was not a good deal
I think you should ban him
