someone on this list likely has a trojan or virus on their mail reading system, as since the last burst of messages, the spam volume thats been aimed at the list alias went up by a factor of 8 or 10. this almost always means a freshly harvested address, which usually happens when a trojan-infected system recieves an email and harvests its addresses. the spams are the same old mix of fake watches, pharma, and cheap software, with a few make-money-fast thrown in. you won't see them, my mail server traps them, but this spike caught my attention.
for the MS Windows users amongst us (myself included), i'd suggest malwarebytes to disinfect your system, and if that won't run, combofix. i put these on a USB stick with a different computer, run combofix (takes quite a while, including a reboot), then install and run malwarebyte (same thing). if these find and clean stuff, install a decent antivirus program, like Avira free (nagware but it works quite well), or even Microsoft's own new free Microsoft Security Essentials. we now return you to your regularlly scheduled topic. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
