    Default viagra email spam

    http://115.126.5.240/uy76.jpg

    This, I keep getting in my email, with the email coming from the same country as the pic, Bangladesh. If added to the hosts part of the immunization list, wouldn't it stop this from downloading?

    Hello,

    You need to filter spam in your email client, however some of it may continue to get through in which case just delete without opening.

    The spam botnets send out millions daily using infected zombie machines.

    Best regards.

    The email address is often spoofed and from an infected users computer.

    Viagra email spam is usually controlled by a botnet and the IPs will fast flux.
