Oh, and I thought we were DONE with these guys!

Sorry, no one wants to buy Aleve online. Especially not the Inheritance geeks. So bye-bye, spambot!

And here I was, musing that there were no new (bad) spambots around. . . .

Well, at least it was only one, not several dozen. After the last batch before, I upped the security settings for registration, and it seemed to help.

To sign up for an account, you have to fill out a CAPTCHA- it's the thing with the messed up letters that you have to type what they are, to verify that you're a person, not a program. There's different "strengths" of CAPTCHAs, ranging from easy-to-read but easy-to-break to hard-to-read but hard-to-break, so I just switched the setting to the higher security level. It may cause troubles for some legitimate users trying to create new accounts, but considering how much trouble we used to have with spambots, it's completely worth it! Besides, if they're having too much trouble, I believe an option pops up to e-mail an administrator, so I could create the account for them.

Well, the hope is that before they're banned, some unsuspecting person will click the links in their posts. Remember to never, ever do this! Those sites are extremely dangerous ones- they'll install all sorts of spyware, adware, and viruses on your computer that can even take control of it completely. Once your computer's been infected, it's extremely difficult to remove these things, so stay safe by not clicking those links!

I'm kind of warded off by the pornographic photos they often have and the fact that you guys beat it into me that SPAMBOTS WILL DIE.

One of the many reasons I'm scared of you guys.

I'm spamming. Embarrassed

It's all good.  At least we have a good administratress mama to protect us from the evil viruses of the world. Grin  Could it be possible to install a system that notifies about "suspicious" accounts?
