This "personal message" I found at the forum board:

Dear, sandman!
Spam sending from your computer was detected.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://remove-malware.servebbs.org/online-scanner/sandman

I have never read the name "James Williams" in this forum and I´m therefore in doubt about the source of this very rude message. I´ve running the newest version of "Kaspersky Internet Security" instantly and I trust its quality. I don´t want to run this recommended internet virus check (malware??) without your confirmation of authenticity of this message above.
With kind regards sandman
(As I posted this text, KASPERSKY announced: The recommended link is listed as a "phishing"-link!!)

Sandman.....a lot of the guys here have had the same thing.....its just some strange spammer with nothing better to do.
If you read some of the posts on the main forum,theres some good advise there.....but dont open any of the links in the mail.

Sorry for opening this new thread and thanks for the reply! I searched in multiple postings before writing but didn´t find the discussion in "General". Once again: The most mistakes comes from the place between the ears.
