Those false virus warnings come from member accounts, so checking the members list won't help here.
A three step activation process (joining the forum, receiving an email and clicking on a link in that email) would at least require a valid address they have access to. I think it would be a task for Lagwagon to set this up.
The spammers could use onetime mailboxes for the activation, but that would be quite time consuming.
