Your computer is infected with malware. The malware is taking control of certain functions bitaddress is using and replacing them with a pre-hosted image link, which is probably removed by now. Please clean up your machine before using it for anything related to bitcoin.

Do Mods consider it as spam?

It might have been deleted because you might have been falsely saying that he had malware. I really doubt a malware exists specifically to target bitaddress.org (and he could always verify the hash), and it could just be a bug. Also depends on when you posted it. I checked the thread and he said it worked on a portable Firefox version, so it might have been a browser glitch.

I said The malware is taking control of certain functions bitaddress is using, which means JS functions used by bitaddress. If any other application use those JS functions, same should happen.

It can not be a browser glitch, as browser glitch can not magically generate a postimage link.

I think they don't tolerate a reply regarding the malware issue since it is not good to be seen by bitcoin holders. However, I don't see any reason why that post has been deleted. Regardimg woth your concern or FAQ's you can message personally mods or administrator why they have deleted your post.
