With millions of other subscribers world-wide, I am receiving as many as 250
spam messages daily, many generated by viruses in other people's computers.

99 perecent of this attrocious rubbish originates in the United States of
America, the land of the free.

Can't you get Bush to do something about it?

I can do no better than speed-read the subject lines and dump everything
unless the subject matter is OBVIOUSLY something of interst to me.

SWR or Old Wives is OK

Female or male teenagers at my time of life are not.

Reg, does your software involving loading coils take distributed
coil capacitance into account? Is there some rule of thumb involved?

Very Funny! In the States most of the Spam comes from your side of the
pond, or from .TW or China! They relay it through someone else!
Blocking helps some, but nothing works for all if it!

Yep, here in the US we are busy as beavers making Chinese, Korean and
Brazilian (Portugese) spam. On the other hand, the Commonwealth of
Virginia indicted two North Carolina men for violating VAs anti-spam
law. One has been arrested and extradited and the other is
surrendering.

No, we were hoping The Queen could kill it at the shoreline
for you.

Frankly most of my spam comes from Brazil.

Isn't Spam just plain a pain.. our Server here use a company named
Postini (do a google search) contact your Local server and tell them
you would like this feature to be added.. Postini filters all my
incoming mail and stops 98 percent of the spam before it's downloaded
to my computer. It also has Virus checking so the 200 or so viruses
i've been getting each week have been stopped before it's downloaded
on my machines. It would be a worthwhile investment even if I had to
pay a little extra for the service. Instead of looking through tons
of email to determine what is spam, I just go to the message center
and look a the list of blocked headers and tell it to deliver only the
ones I want .. or I can read the message there first.

Check it out.

Also most of the spam I'm receiving here seems to originate from China
or the far east. But most of the viruses unfortunately are coming
(mostlikely unknown to the actual person,) from other hams in the U.S.
who just won't keep their machines virus programs updated. I long ago
stopped reporting them cause it did no good and just used up too much
of my time.. Just block them now..

Cheers ,

hmm, most of my spam originates from members of newsgroups that have a
computer infected with Swen virus. The rest appears to originate in the
far east.

Which brings up the thought: Guys and Gals, check out your computer to
see if it is infected! If you are using a Winbox, using Outlook in one
of it's incarnations, Internet Explorer, and haven't updated for a
couple years, guess what?

Keep a stiff upper lip. I went to Earthlink. Stopped them cold.

========================

I object to having to pay extra for a service which may improve for a while
but soon begins to become unreliable again.

There is evidence that control is now being exerted by 'the powers that be'.

USA citizens report the stuff comes mainly from the Far East or Brazil. And
also complain about Europe.

I get none from Europe and none from the UK, Most now comes from America.

But a few months back, when mine came mostly from the Far East, over a short
period of a few days the Far East stuff fell to a very low level and was of
a somwhat different nature. The Far East stuff always had a genuine high
quality commercial adverising content. Now the American stuff is 90%
pornograhic.

But throughout these changes in source and type of content, which cannot be
explained by random statistical variations, the total volume has continued
to increase.

Who are the 'powers that be'. ?

They who own and control the World's communications services, data, speech,
TV, newspapers, broadcasting, satellite, Internet, will rule the Earth.

Where is Big Brother's master computer located? Who's finger's are on the
keyboard?

Problem is many US companies have the spam created here in us and the
sent to the internet from servers located overseas so they are untouchable
from us laws etc..

You are correct, many people have unprotected computers with outdated
o/s and or no virus software.

Example is at my university they processed a weeks worth of email in 24 hours
due to that nasty virus that was going around a few months ago. Our mainframe
ftp server gets requests from almost every pc on the campus that is infected,
campus net can't or won't pull the plug on their ip address.

Best thing I can suggest is check out following sites and get protected.

http://grc.com lots of info no charge and learn how to protect your pc.

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ no charge ad aware v 6.0
finds and then removes many types of spy ware and ad tracking software that
is installed when you visit websites (without your knowledge or permission !)
