Re: Spam Posts Invasion

Tony,

Both spammed post (#100750 & 100751) and possibly all previous spam posts redirect to Canadian Pharmacy or a version of it.

According to Spamhaus, they are located in the Ukraine and are at the top of their "10 Worst Spammers" list. They are not going to go away easely.

These spamming organizations usually use keyloggers viruses to snag passwords. Hence my post about using  proven antivirus software to scans incoming emails. 

Cheers,
Andre
