Not by a long shot - Malke runs a computer business. It's entirely
appropriate to add a signature with a business name. It's not self
promotion as much as a Professional identification. Also Elephant
Boy computers provides a lot of "Self-Help" for removing Malware
and is referenced by other responders here.

You need to look again.
If a signature is the standard you use to identify a spammer, many
posters in these newsgroups are spammers.
You are one of the few if not the only that use a signature as a
standard to identify a spammer.
Identifying spam for what it is , is not spam.
There are many new people here regularly, and what may seem obvious to
you is not always obvious to others.
Do you help as much as she does?
Perhaps you need to read more of her posts.

I will challenge anybody who frequents these newsgroups to present any evidence where it demonstrates that Malke uses her business web site to generate paid work from these newsgroups.
Her web site is full of useful information which can be accessed for free. Nobody puts up that kind of material on a 'free to access' web site in the hope of being paid for it. Only local people who call her for personal assistance would get charged anything at all, which just about discounts 99.9% of all people who come here.
I suggest that you take a good look at it..

You are wrong about Malke. She is more helpful that most as it testifies her web page for help with Malware\Trojans and viruses. And her warning about Spam is appropriate for most new or one time posters
You claim for posting in HTML is not valid reason. Read carefully and you will see that text based newsgroups is not marked as allowed to post in HTML.
Funny that you do not get many answers to your posts. Most if not all will not open HTML based posts

It would appear you have never heard the term 'contextualizing'?
There are very good reasons for using the recommended newsgroup quoting
style. It has to do with making it easy for others to understand what you
are talking about when you post a reply to anything by placing your
comments into context.
1) If you do not quote at all in a reply you leave the reader guessing at
what you are replying to.
2) If you quote the entire message but then post your reply above or below
the message you are responding to, and the message happens to be very long
and cover a lot of topics of discussion, again you leave the reader guessing
as to what part of the message your reply was for.
This is why you should put your replies into context.
4) Newsgroup quoting styles have been in use now for well over 20 years,
they are very well understood and accepted quoting practices among those who
participate in newsgroup threaded discussions. Because of that, if you
choose for whatever reason to not follow these accepted practices, then you
invite criticism. Quite often people who fail to follow accepted practices
in threaded discussions and choose to ignore request to start doing so, will
eventually be ignored completely and/or not taken
seriously.
5) It's bad form to quote the entire message of an OP (Original Poster)
especially so if that message is more than just a few lines in length,
unless you are doing a point by point response to the message and properly
contextualizing your responses as you go. You should [snip] any comments you
are not responding to.
There you go WALLY - a lesson in correct posting etiquette.
JJ was spot on - who wants to keep reading the same crap on and on in every
reply - that does piss me off.
I have nothing to add re the comments made about Malke - as far as I am
concerned she 'IS' and that's good enough for me and probably thousands of
others who are only too pleased that she 'IS'.
The original OP comments are pathetic.
