Re: O/T Superb FREE anti-spyware
Theres always other avenues for receiving spam
yahoo & msn not that long ago gave their members emails out for sale..so I've been told..without notifying members
someone posted it on a yahoo group 6 months..you had to manually opt out of having your email disclosed
I'd say if ad-aware or spybot had spyware they would be listed at and they aren't...just pray that the makers of these programs aren't the people who run spychecker.com
Personally I think the spam thing is just a replacement for popups which were failing miserably
cheers

Re: O/T Superb FREE anti-spyware
I haven't noticed this at all in the year I have been using Ad-aware.I think just the opposite, that doing away w/ the spyware cuts down on the spam.Other than that sent thru Yahoo Groups, the only spam I get since I started fighting spyware is in this Yahoo account, which I stupidly post all over creation...BTW: I have a Hotmail account which has never been used for anything at all, but when I happen to check it, it has 25-30 pieces of spam. Every time. MSN selling addies????

Sounds like a "dictionary attack" - spammers often try and use every combinations of letters/numbers they can, and tail it off with @hotmail.com
Mind you, Hotmail accounts are definitely useless if you want to avoid spam. There was a big furore in the IT press last year, when it was discovered that Microsoft had automatically ticked boxes that effectively say "make my mail address public" for all users. That's another reason why Hotmail accounts get so much spam.
