Interesting.Just read the report.I,like everyone else,use a spam filter,and NEVER open an email from ANYONE I do not know.Even if a friend sent me one,they CAN be "the sender",unwittingly,of spam,if they have subscribed to something as simple as a "news" page,or tech-info.It has happened to me.If unsure,simply delete the email,and as you know,NEVER open an "attachment" without making sure it IS from a family member,friend,or work collegue.The only way to avoid spam is to never to use the internet.Obviously,a barmy,and unworkable solution.
