Lol

As above, its just over reacting cause of a sig linked to on that thread, its not going to do you any harm!

If it bothers you though, just go into your control panel and turn off sigs.

No need to turn off sigs, at worst you'll get a tracker cookie off it just run something like....

www.malwarebytes.org
www.superantispyware.com

...every week or so

Of course not, but if the thread starter is silly enough to take notice of warnings like that then that is how to avoid them.

Silly enough to take notice, wind it in, a malware warning would worry most people.

You're going to post up with the veiled hope of a solution, turning sigs off isn't the right one. But of course you knew that
