A human spam bot, showing now as *Spam Bot* ForumTeam, has registered on the forum this morning and sent some members a PM with a link to click. They have said that there is a problem with a virus and clicking this link will solve it.

I haven't received the PM myself so I presume this won't effect everyone. Please don't click the link.

We're now busy working on something which will help to stop human spam bots registering.

The message is as stated, with the link and members name removed:
