I, too, have received four messages claiming my computer is infected. The latest stating it was sent my a moderator. I didn't open any of them, but could see how an irregular visitor might see the latest as valid.

I got the PM too, then came here first - It kinda got me for a minute because my 'puter has been going nuts lately, and I'm suspecting an issue even though Norton says all is secure. The thought of having my HBC account suspended scared the willies out of me.
