    I've registered on dozens of motorcycle forums over the years. Never had this happen. When I clicked on the link in the email to activate my vfrworld pw I got spammed in several windows at once, invitations to meet strange women. Really. I'm not joking.

    Like I said, this has never happened to me before on any forum, any pw activation. Never. Sucks. I thought the admins should know.

    Sounds like click jacking usually related to spyware that's taken residency in your browser.

    Yep. Try running spybot search and destroy and an anti-malware like "malwarebytes" or something. You got some friends hanging out it sounds like boss.

    Thanks for the replies. It has been a long time since I had any trouble with malware. Did not think of the obvious. Scanning now...


    UPDATE: Whatever it was made it past Yahoo Mail virus check, McAfee virus check and Malwarebytes spyware checks. Odd. Over and out of this thread...
