Stop Hitting Yourself
Most people hate spam. We buy elaborate filters and try to come up with innovative systems to defeat this nasty nuisance. However, A new study by Sandvine is suggesting that most people are harming themselves. The study claims that up to 80% of spam nowadays comes from Windows machines in people's home that are infected with viruses, worms, and trojans.
So if you want to help fight spam get a firewall/router, patch up your version of windows, get antivirus, switch to a non-windows platform, Get Adaware and Spybot, Stop looking at so much porn, And follow the same steps on your parents computer.
