Have you opened any of these? If so that is why you keep receiving them. The spam has infected your computer. Get yourself the free copy of Malwaebytes and run that, and probably good to get Spybot search and destroy also. Both are free for trial.

Don't answer anything like that in the registry (or on any other medium for that matter), spammers are using advanced hacking methods now and more users as opposed to bots are being used so keeping them out is getting harder.
Always query anything suspect with the mods, these guys are ready to ban or nuke anyone who steps out of line......

I have seen a new one they are using that is very sneaky on the g838 forum that I moderate. The spammer will copy an answer that I posted to a question and post it as a quote in their post with whatever they want to say. But here is the sneaky part, they do not put their spam link in their message in their post, They insert it into the copied quote so it looks like the link was from me! Keep your eye out for that one. If the post does not pertain directly to the conversation that is going on then 90% of the time it is going to be a spammer. As a mod I have learned to spot them pretty quickly.
