Yes:

1. You're posting in the wrong forum.
2. Get a real newsreader.
3. Bye.

He posts to the Usenet newsgroup comp.security.firewalls very frequently
with announcements flogging his website and various viruses it installs
even though his virus-ware has nothing to do with firewalls.

His domain is _registered_ in Pakistan, but is actually hosted on some
spam server about 25 km North of Dallas, Texas. Blocking 67.222.128.0/19
on your perimeter firewall may be a good idea. My company does.

He's been told hundreds of times that his suggesting use of a virus
removal tool is extremely st00pid and even microsoft knows it's not a
reliable or safe method of computing, but he seems to expect getting
viruses is a part of visiting the pr0n websites, so he's constantly
finding new viruses and worms because he's GOT to visit those sites.
He _knows_ that he gets the viruses there and at the gaming sites he
likes, but keeps clicking "INSTALL ME". Says a lot right there.

>2. Get a real newsreader.

He can't. He's a windoze expert, and needs to use a crappy browser to
install the viruses and worms automatically. It's hard work clicking
OK all of the time.

Usually malware doesn't let you look at the promised bait until after
you bite the hook. You have to run the installer if you want to get the
picture/video/warez/e-invitation-with-a-funny-sound/whatever.

I'm not defending, only explaining. Some people really gotta have the
bait. If it never worked, it wouldn't be bait, after all.

Thanks for the info. When I just had sent my original post I realised
that I responded to an extremely old thread. My apologies for bringing
it up again.

That's the usual method, yeah

"Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me" In the
case of this spammer, it's "fool me a hundred times, you need to add
more chlorine to the gene pool". I guess he's so desperate to see
pink that he decided the malware is the price he's willing to pay.
Personally, real live pink is a lot more ``interesting'', but not
having to imagine things helps a lot.
