There seems to be a spam phishing link on the article for the link to sourcecode for
"Demo for Data Access Layer" ... the hyperlink goes to the url http colon slash slash www dot technical dot cosmicverse dot info, which sets off Webroot Antivirus on my machine.

What I have tried:

Reporting it now to you that a phishing spammer has added a link to your article in the hopes that readers will click the link and go to their site. Luckily for me, Webroot warned me that the link is a known spammer risk.

@OriginalGriff reported the user and all the articles containing the link to that site. The articles are already gone, the user will be soon. CP Staff has been informed and suggested to check for that link in the database, just in case.
