The past few weeks have been brutal for spam floods, both in e-mail and blog comments. The Akismet service for WordPress does a great job of filtering out spam comments, but when the volume is bad, some slips through, especially when there are multiples of the same message. Here’s one example:
Name: best motorcycle insurance | URI: http://www.fullsizeinsurance.com/
| IP: 86.96.226.14 | Date: March 4, 2008
This is why I have to moderate comments. It’s not because any of the legitimate comments need censoring, it’s because I’d have to delete spam that would have already found its way to the RSS feed for comments.
Wish you were here! With my limited computer savvy, my computer is once again freezing up and stalling. The McAfee I bought from Wal-Mart turned out to be bad, so I unistalled it, and my computer was fine for months! Now, something else is back on which keeps “updating” itself.
The SPAM I get in my mail is totally illegible (I don’t open it).
