Maybe you should get a clue as to what spam really is before labeling that
message as such. Here's one definition that may assist you:

"To indiscriminately send unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or
inappropriate messages, especially commercial advertising in mass
quantities."

That post didn't look to be "indiscriminate" nor "commercial advertising"
nor "in mass quantities".

Here's another:

"The use of mailing lists to blanket usenets or private email boxes with
indiscriminate advertising messages."

Don't see one small posting in this newsgroup and only in this newsgroup as
"blanketing". Do you not have some sense of proportion?

And finally another:

"As a noun, an irrelevant message (frequently commercial advertising)
cross-posted to many public fora (eg.: Usenet groups) simultaneously."

Again, nothing about that post suggests it falls within the above
definition.

So stop being a self-important net cop and go back to your regular
irrelevant broadcasting which amounts to telling so many others how to
remove malware from their Windoze systems while you still keep using a
Linux system and are free from that crapware, but never suggest others
follow your wise example.

I'd say it was spam. It was an attempt to generate traffic to a web site
that may or may not have any relevancy to this newsgroup. The site does have
paid advertising so any traffic will generate additional revenue for the
poster.

Well, maybe not "mass quantities" but only because someone stopped
"Hosting Forum" before s/he really got going:
