Spam is on the rise

22 September 2003

Not only is spam on the rise, email users must now contend with an even greater threat: viruses that turn infected computers into zombies. The latest Sobig outbreak has demonstrated that a virus can now infect a victim's computer with malware. This program is remote-controlled by a hacker, who uses the victim's computer to send thousands of spam messages. The victim thus becomes an unwitting accomplice to spam attacks.

Viruses such as Sobig that attempt to install malware on your computer are blocked by ZEROSPAM.
