A Bloy and his Blog

Over the past few days I’ve gotten several mass-mailed advertisements to my personal email address. That email address has, for the most part, been spam free for me. It isn’t posted on the web anywhere, so spam harvesting robots can’t grab it.

Well, it turns out there is a mass-mailing e-mail worm spreading around the net, which is distributing spam to every address it can find on the infected computer. If your computer has it, you are unknowingly sending spam to everyone in your address book.

Please folks, use anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. Make sure to keep them up-to-date. Keep your software up-to-date as well. Those of us in your email address book will be grateful.
