I get a ton of comment spam every day. I usually do a quick scan to make sure that a valid comment wasn’t picked up by mistake before deleting it. It is very rare that I spend any time on a particular comment because they are usually nonsense. They will be poorly written with misspelled [...]

I remember when I first started blogging that you had to pay attention to all comments that you received. There are spammers that are extremely effective in using spam bots to fill your blog with all sort of nasty unwanted spam comments. To make it difficult to find, the spammers don’t comment on the current [...]

My most recent Windows XP problem that knocked out my PC reminded me of this. Since I had to rebuild my PC, I decided to [...]

I have literally quit having to deal with spam in my email inbox. I don’t remember where I read about a product called Lashback, but I downloaded it and installed it. It is a product that attempts to unsubscribe you from the spammers list. It also knows from your usage all people that are considered [...]

My spam level on this blog has tripled in the last two days. I would think this unusual, if I hadn’t learned of the death of Blue Security at the hands of major spammers in Russia from Epiac’s Website.

Everyday I receive a large amount of “Comment Spam”. When comments are entered, WordPress requires an email and it is also possible to enter a URL of the commenter’s site.
Spam comments obviously don’t have legitimate email addresses. Most fake a yahoo or hotmail address, though I am starting to see that gmail addresses are increasing [...]

It is with deep sadness that I notify the fans of Reverend Willy Graham that he is no longer with us. I do not know if he succumbed to one of the many viruses that he received in his emails or if he suddenly became wealthy beyond his wildest dreams and is off doing good [...]

Reverend Willy received two emails today. One was diagnosed by the spam software as spam and contained a zip file which I feel pretty sure contains a virus. The virus is probably a response from Mrs. Walter for seeing through the scam.

I will make one last attempt to keep the game alive with Mrs. Walter. I have my doubts if I will hear any more from Mrs. Walter or the Barrister.
Here is my Email, which will be going out.
