At Long Last I Am Seeing A Reduction In Spam

[HuskyPup]

This past week, maybe 10 days, my e-mail inboxes have definitely seen a huge reduction in spam, certainly down by at least 50%, probably even more, I just never counted it before simply deleted direct from the server however it is very noticeable with my less-trafficked accounts that some are not getting hardly any spam whatsoever:-)

Hopefully this will stick, is anyone else experiencing the same reduction?

The Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit has dismantled a huge and complex botnet called Rustock, an operation given the credit (or blame) for 39% of all email spam.

Glad to hear that, HuskyPup. Lets hope it stays that way, eh!

Yep, I knew I had read it somewhere, ties in precisely with my timeline...good:-)

Unless MS takes China down, I'll never see a reduction in spam.

Unless MS takes China down

Yet strangely I have never had much spam from China, Turkey seems to be my worst offender at the moment.

The best part of the Chinese spam is I'll never fall for any of the scams, phishes, etc. because I can't read them.

Completely harmless, just annoying :)
