    I agree, it's not a good look, I'll netmail the sysop.

    I have to say it was downright disorienting and uncanny to see spam of this sort on fsxNet. I mean, I don't want to see it happen again but it woke me out of my stupor.

    I'm awake now!

    You wonder how effective such schizoid spam ever is.

    LOL!

    I almost freaked out myself thinking initially it was my server. Then I looked again and realized where it came from.

    I've caught up with the sysop and he's going to check it out, so all good in the hood folks.

    Hello all, user removed and IP blocked. I'll also look into the option of not allowing posting for new users.

    I run my Mystic system from home with Malwarebytes running 24/7. It stays pretty busy!

    I'm using IOLO System Mechanic software on my main WIN 11 and WIN 10 machines. I'm about to drop it because it is has way too much and acts like McAfee locking up the PC just when you are trying to do something so it can install updates every hour -- come on! ..

    I forgot about MWB - I'll see about getting that and installing. I'd still like to make a pfSense Linux firewall and that will take care of all of the port 23 attacks easy enough.
