I get a crazy amount of spam to my work address. Easily 2000 messages a day. A large portion of this falls into the vigrx/penis-breast-enlargement/porn camp. Every now and again I take the futile step to unsub from lists. Yes, I know that unsubbing can confirm an email address but really I don’t care. Some of this stuff is disgusting and I’m willing to take my chances.
Well, take my chances I did, and in my travels to various ‘auto-remove’ websites I got nailed with I-Lookup. Vile piece of software. Takes over IE, the desktop and a variety of other things.
Finally downloaded Spybot. Get this. It’s great.
So yeah, no porn left on my work machine which is always a good thing. To be honest I was shaking there for a while…
