  Received a message from a forum user "mannInBlackk" that warned me "there are viruses' activities from your computer in the last few days.  Strongly recommend you to check your corr report about your computer's security and solve every problem with it here (and continued on with a link to check-pc.net etc.)
  Google has listed this as a suspicious site, ... one that has hosted malicious software over the past 90 days and infected 90 domains.
  I have notified the Webmaster of this message the forum relayed to me, and, hope no other users have received or acted on the scare tactic that seems to be employed by "MannInBlackk".

  I apologize for this having to be my first post on this site, and, hope to be able to continue gaining valuable information from the Forum on my adventure into the world of seakayaking.

MannInBlackk was set up by a spammer. I have removed the account and placed IP and e-mail bans to help prevent its return.

Please continue to report suspicious activities to me. We cannot eliminate the spammers, but we can make it difficult for them.
