Dirty f**king spamming b*stards

Post by GeoNeil »

Apologies for the language, but I've just checked my Yahoo Mail (that's the one that has SpamGuard on, FFS!) and received 45 emails, pretty much all of which were spam for porn, fake watches, OEM software and Viagra... :!:

I want to K!LL someone :angry5: some b*****d 1337 h4x0r 7\/\/4t20r who writes the viruses and trojans that turn unsuspecting user's PCs into the botnet sh*te that churns out this crap. Or maybe someone in the hardcore pr0n industry or whoever invented Cialis Soft Tabs as it's these scumsuckers spam that I keep receiving.

Or maybe the mugs out there who continue using their PCs without any form of antivirus, firewall, anti-adware or any other type of protection.

Because my Windows XP CD came without Service Pack 2 the first thing I keep the installers for AVG and Kerio Personal Firewall on backup so I can put them on my PC before I even think about connecting to the internet after a reinstall. Having Kerio's firewall introduced me to the Sunbelt Blog which can be an interesting read.

I'm ever so slightly annoyed.

I've been getting the Cialis/Viagra spam for a few days now, I used to get pr0n spam with the most florid pseudo-biblical language (I suppose they had to do that to get past SPAM filters) a while back, again several a day but it died down, thankfully.

What I will say is that Thunderbird has suddenly become very educated in the anatomy of SPAM in a very short while. Yahoo Mail site drops them in Bulk for a month but still sends them on to my PC when I use an email client (I do this because you never know when a legitmate bulk mail like a mailing list post gets filtered)

GRRRRR! EVEN NOW THUNDERBIRD'S JUNK FOLDER IS FILLING UP!!
