The fake virus PM I received

This is the PM I received today, as I posted earlier this is NOT a real problem until a person with the Windows system visits the links that are sending to you. I run Linux on my PC and have no such worries but a windows system will have problems. If you run into a program that installs on your PC and locks out all your EXE files there are ways to cure as my wife had one do just that on her windows machine on new years morning. I wont post any links as I don't want to get mixed into this mess but your free to ask.

Just don't use this link below!!

I got one too from MichealTracy. Perhaps users under x days or x posts shouldn't be allowed to send private messages.

Hey, that's a great idea, make them EARN the right to PM services.
Maybe even they have to be thanked 10 times by different members, each with an established account.

That aughta sort out the riff-raff...
