A new user (superuser.com/users/429423/veronika-tondon) signed up today and really wanted to help on some old posts requesting recommendations for an invoicing system. She really thinks invoicera.com is the best thing since sliced bread, and recommended it on three questions. I'm sure it's not spam because she would have disclosed her connection if it was.

@fixer1234 Strong indications of spam here but there's hinting of affiliation (Manager http://www.invoicera.com/). I'd raise a custom mod attention flag noting self-promotion. If I were a mod, I would suspend the account rather than deleting it.
@fixer1234 Can confirm affiliation.

Okay, scratch that (about the custom mod flag). I just got another user promoting Invoicera on the same question.

A: Software Invoicing System

MariyaI have used "Invoicera", it is an online invoicing software and having a time tracking feature within. I think you must try. Visit http://www.invoicera.com/ to get free trial for one month.

If multiple users are involved, this is a spam ring and I would flag as spam regardless.

Marlya has stayed under the radar for two years.

Also, a user posting multiple promotional answers within a very short timespan (e.g. less than an hour) is probably up to no good.
It means the user isn't truly trying to help the OP address the issue in question, but has an agenda secondary to the question.
Veronika posted three answers within 15 minutes, all promoting the same product.

Don't get me wrong. I had my doubts at first.
But digging deeper can reveal a lot more than you think.
Just another trophy to put on my wall.

@DragonLord: I sure hope it's not the same bridge I just bought from this other guy. Sure seems like a lot of bridges going on sale. I'm amassing quite a collection.

A: How can I remove the ads by browser shop virus?

kirra ioriBrowser Shop is a piece of adware that gets installed on users' web browser and keeps displaying various ads almost on every webpage they visit. Since this adware has rootkit feature, it is very hard for users to remove it simply by restoring the browser settings or re-installing the browsers. Ev...

SpyHunter again.

Not malware, but far, far too much promotion.
Enigma Software Group USA is the developer of SpyHunter.

Even if you're trying to sell a legitimate product, spam is not an acceptable business model.
Why not focus resources on developing a good product and building a good reputation instead?
Malwarebytes succeeded because they developed a product that has proven to be effective in disabling sneakier malware that slips past normal antivirus software.

@DragonLord: I half suspect its misinformed marketing teams, and/or outsourced stuff
and culture. Some people put too much stock in SEO
