I don't know where else to put this, but here it goes. I just received a message from a LadyROOT (guest user)  who claims to be an administrator.

Here is the message.

Dear, Anon!

A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://antivirus.effectmeds.com/Anon
----------------------------------------------------
Sincerely, Forum Administration china-mint.info.

LadyROOT is not an administrator and there's no way she could know I have a virus on my computer. (I use Linux, so viruses aren't a problem)

Do not click on her link, it will install malware on your computer.


Administrators. You should disable guest accounts, so this doesn't happen again.

I got a similar message, too.  I tried to contact you this morning to let you know about the message, but delivery was denied at your end (I used info@china-mint.info).
