Definition of Spam
A "spam" e-mail is
generally defined as an unsolicited mailing, usually to
many people. A message written for, and mailed to, one
individual that is known to the sender is not spam, and
a reply to an e-mail is not spam, unless the "reply"
repeats endlessly. |

Your Antivirus is Dead. Now What?
Recently, dozens of Bagle downloader Trojans
were mass-spammed. By the time protection became
available from antivirus vendors, many systems may have
already been compromised. Worse, the Bagle Trojans
disable antivirus protection, block access to antivirus
vendor sites, and prevent access to the Registry Editor
and Task Manager.
