VegasJim has been wrestling with some spammers adding links to their post that include spy/addware.

If you come accross any post that looks fishy please use the "Report" button located underneath the users name in the bottom left of the topic to alert a moderator to the problem.

If you suspect that your computer may have a problem please visit Trend Housecall Anti-Virus to do a free scan of your computer (Its what I use). The forum system we use is safe and up to date but there is not much we can do about users posting bad links until they are reported.

In the meantime we are looking at what we can do with the system.

Please post any comments you have as a reply to this message.

I have added three new tactics that should thwart further spamming from spam-bots.

BUT

There may still be a few bad "Users" (Spam-Bots) registered in the system so please report any fishy activity.
