Lycos screensaver to blitz spam servers
Lycos screensaver to blitz spam servers | The Register
Its a beautiful thing. Lycos is striking back at the SPAMMERS. One way is to remove the financial incentive from SPAM. Most hosted web sites have bandwidth limits. After a certain point, you pay a premium for bandwidth used. Sometimes this premium can be big bucks.
The Lycos screen saver sends requests to documented SPAMMER web sites, driving up the costs for hosting.
I have this installed on my primary workstation as a test. It looks OK and after scanning with the latest version of AdAware. Next, I'm loading it on the family workstations (all five) and my servers (which run 24x7).
Let's put our bandwidth to good use!
You can download from the site makelovenotspam.com. I clicked for the UK link and its running fine on my box.
Let me know what you think!
