Default Spam PMs from admins?

I'm not sure if this is legit or not, but I have received 6 PMs from the accounts BoardSupport, BoardAdministrator, AdminModerators, AdminModerator claiming my PC is infected and demanding I scan with some tool they link. Obviously I'm not clicking the link since this does not seem legit. Anyone else getting this, or am I legitimately infecting AF with viruses my Norton AV isn't picking up?

Thanks,

For anyone else getting these bogus PMs, please post the screenname or forward the PM to one of us and we can handle such members on a case by case basis.
