I have never been advised of malicious sofware this way before. I know Simple Machines is a GREAT system, but I don't think it could be catching things that my computer's considerable security software missed!

What'ya guys think? Is this legit or is it some auto-registration bot thing that going through the member directory and sending out bullshit?

Thanks

Jim
I think 4 stroke dirtbikes are a phase, kind of like "Glam Rock" in a way. You see the whole world subscribing to it, and you wonder how everyone could be choking down so much Kool Aid and Spam... Then 10 Years later, nothing's left but the timeless stuff from before and after..

This is totally bullshit!!! Anytime you get any personal messages that have nothing to do with motocross bikes, please forward it to me with a little note....

I try to delete all the accounts that I think are SPAMMERS and I block them all the time. Sorry that you got this crap in your inbox. Please send me the user name and it will be blocked and deleted.
Life is short.

Smile while you still have teeth!
