i think until this is solved maybe we should have a sticky
specifically pointing out that any and all PMs warning of a virus
on your computer should have the user name noted and then
the PM deleted.

obviously those of us that are daily users know of the problem but
someone that hasn't been on in months or is a newbie could get
snagged by the fake virus warning.

also i was wondering if the software the site is built on will allow
the blocking of newbie PMs until they have 10 or maybe 25 posts
as some sites do?
or how about moderated where all new users first 10 posts have to
be approved by a moderator before hitting the board.
