No kidding... Yikes. It's a veritable explosion, any notion on what caused it?

I think Dilbert's company hired the little people of Elbonia to go out and plant all of it.

Dunno, obviously there's money enough in it, and apparently certain websites think potential customers really like to be bothered.

Some people predict that the internet will be totally unusable in a few years because of the truckload of spam that's heaped on you every way you click.

setdeenx appears to be a spambot, although I'm not sure. I can't read his stuff at all. But he links to a Russian forum...anyone read Russian around here?? Hmm...an international spambot!

The Upside of all this spam is that it can be amusing...

The downside is that my administration is going to be blamed for it, and most likely the next Pres will ride in on a White Horse and look good. *sigh* the world of politics. It makes you want to smash something really really expensive.

Don't click on the links!!! Plus, I have this feeling that if you click on even one link, it encourages the spambots to send in more ads and links, because they think they might have some potential customers/attention. One effective way to stop or at least stem the increasing influx of these ad and spyware and virus-spam threads is to simply ignore them; don't even open the thread itself and read what it has to say. And for god's sake, don't click on those links!!

... yet. And only because people can't be arsed; that would likely change with a bigger market share, and there's certainly been mac 'viruses'.

Indeed it won't be long until there are widespread ones for macs, another five or ten years and apple won't be able to use that line. But right now were safe.

No, I don't click on the links...I don't even open the threads. But the thread previews are bad enough.
