Hello to all. I have a problem that I can not solve alone. A new user of my forum, yesterday, created a topic containing links. When I opened it, my antivirus started to report and block threats continuously. Of course, I deleted, immediately  the topic and I warned the author of the topic, which has not responded to my message. These days, two other people are signing up to the forum with strange email addresses, too long. I'm suspicious, because they did not ask questions, after their entry. I would like to know if there is a way, as is often done in other forums, to prevent the pubblicazioine of links in the post for new members. This would be a security. Thank you for your help. Silvana

I forgot. I would also like to know if it is possible to block spam and how and if it would be possible for me to check the registration and give the ok before they become effective ... Thank you.
(in the meantime, for safety, I locked the suspect users)
