Title: Turn Your Head and Cough
Post by: Sanvean on May 15, 2008, 06:51:46 PM
Loooots of spam bounce today in my mailbox of a kind that makes me wonder if someone doesn't have an infected computer out there and my address in their address book.  I urge you all to check your computer(s) for infection if you haven't done so recently and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONTRESSOR install anti-virus software if you don't already have it.

If anyone out there is getting pounded by 'failure replies' to addresses they have never seen or heard of, I highly advise that you go to

http://www.lavasoft.com

And download the free version (green button) of the program they offer called Adaware.  There's something going around called the Hydra, which is kind of a mix between spyware and virus, and while it gets past virus scans, I've seen it clear up the problem with 99% of the people I've advised to run adaware on their systems.  As I said, it's free.  You can pay for it for additional services/functionality, but the free version works just fine.
