October was a record month for spam. And things are only going to get worse. As Christmas approaches, spammers will be sending more and more messages. They'll be pitching everything from iPods to fake Rolexes.
This year, spammers have a new weapon in their arsenal: SpamThru. This Trojan connects an infected computer to a botnet. And the botnet is capable of sending more spam than other botnets. Combined with new ways of tricking spam filters, we're in for a record season.
As you're cleaning out your inbox and spam folder, don't get tempted by any of the offers. Just delete the messages.
