hmm, most of my spam originates from members of newsgroups that have a
computer infected with Swen virus. The rest appears to originate in the
far east.

Which brings up the thought: Guys and Gals, check out your computer to
see if it is infected! If you are using a Winbox, using Outlook in one
of it's incarnations, Internet Explorer, and haven't updated for a
couple years, guess what?

========================

I object to having to pay extra for a service which may improve for a while
but soon begins to become unreliable again.

There is evidence that control is now being exerted by 'the powers that be'.

USA citizens report the stuff comes mainly from the Far East or Brazil. And
also complain about Europe.

I get none from Europe and none from the UK, Most now comes from America.

But a few months back, when mine came mostly from the Far East, over a short
period of a few days the Far East stuff fell to a very low level and was of
a somwhat different nature. The Far East stuff always had a genuine high
quality commercial adverising content. Now the American stuff is 90%
pornograhic.

But throughout these changes in source and type of content, which cannot be
explained by random statistical variations, the total volume has continued
to increase.

Who are the 'powers that be'. ?

They who own and control the World's communications services, data, speech,
TV, newspapers, broadcasting, satellite, Internet, will rule the Earth.

Where is Big Brother's master computer located? Who's finger's are on the
keyboard?

Congress is considering just such a law. Unfortunatly they all went home

Problem is many US companies have the spam created here in us and the
sent to the internet from servers located overseas so they are untouchable
from us laws etc..

You are correct, many people have unprotected computers with outdated
o/s and or no virus software.

Example is at my university they processed a weeks worth of email in 24 hours
due to that nasty virus that was going around a few months ago. Our mainframe
ftp server gets requests from almost every pc on the campus that is infected,
campus net can't or won't pull the plug on their ip address.

Best thing I can suggest is check out following sites and get protected.

http://grc.com lots of info no charge and learn how to protect your pc.

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ no charge ad aware v 6.0
finds and then removes many types of spy ware and ad tracking software that
is installed when you visit websites (without your knowledge or permission !)

Another couple things that are important IMO. Get ZoneAlarm. And then
as an added protection, get a Proxy server such as Proxomitron. (free,
so I'll forgive the strange name)

I have another firewall on my D-Link router, so I'm running two
firewalls, and a proxy server.

The proxy eliminates all ad's from a website that don't originate from
that website, which is a big source of spyware. It kills popups too, and
several other annoying things such as converts blinkies to bold type,
kills nosey Javascripts, does selective cookie accept/refusal and lots
of other handy configurable things.

The only downside is that when you go to a site that has lots of the
intrusive stuff on it, (and it is an education to see which sites do
this) it will take a little longer to load the page.

Remember, Mister Website is NOT your friend!

Now what I want is a mailreader that will refuse all exe's, bat's,
etcetera and leave them on the server, never to reach my machine. (no, I
will not use Outlook in any shape or form) I haven't looked too hard,
anyone know of some good ones?

Reg, you must have a point. Apparently it's not antennas.

What has happened to you?

That Saddam's body is still alive (or so we are told) and now in the
hands of the CIA is of no consequence whatsoever.

Where are the so-called propagandised weapons of mass destruction, 45
minutes launching time, which were Government's lying excuses for
occupying the country, once again in a period of 15 years, deliberately
and intentionally sending it back with missiles and splinter-bombs to
the stone age?

The whole world knows where the weapons of mass destruction are to be found.

But these are trivial matters.

The Western multi-nationals, conglomerates, corporations, banks, have
now successfully achieved their short-term objectives of completing
control over the Middle Eastern oil fields and regions through which the
pipelines to American power stations, plastics industries and guzzling
petrol tanks have to be fed.

What, and in which region, are the next financial and military
objectives of Big Brother ? But isn't it quite obvious?

Changing to a new email address, and setting my ISP's spam filter on
medium high, eliminated most of my spam. I get 2 o 3 a week.
