It's really annoying - same stupid spam. We installed some new updates today to try to stop it

We're working on it. We actually have captcha and email verification, but no other restrictions on posting once you're in. Unfortunately the forces of evil have have found ways to break the captcha and validation. We're installing some plugins that will compare registering ips to known spamers and put other restrictions on new users (like no PMing until they've responded to some posts w/o URLs, etc.).

PITA.

I have gotten 3 or 4 of them. This site is starting to suck.

LOL, I love those emails. I get them like once every other month or so.

Well, I downloaded it. My laptop is completely shut down now. Its a real antivirus, but it states that every function and program is infected and prevents them from starting up. I tried uninstalling it but it shuts off the add remove function in the control panel. I bought another antivirus from bestbuy but it says that is infected and won't let it install. Fuck. I'm reaching out for help with my BlackBerry.
