this person is from a foreign country, and many of them end up as nasty posts or selling something other than honda. we try to clear these up as soon as an administrator catches it. Sorry for the unreadable junk.

Thank you.
The link was to a hoaks virus-scan.
So to anyone reading this: If you get a pm or email from anyone claiming your computer is infected and gives you a link to a "virus-scanner", dont listen to them...
