Download Windows 7 security - A great leap forward or business as usual?

And a subject here

Today’s version of the never-ending Anatrim (weightloss drug) campaign was rather amusing compared to past ones. The message talks about how being overweight is a clinical condition and goes on to list a number of related diseases. There’s an attached PNG image that links you to the website. If you scroll down to the bottom of the message though, you’ll see a huge gap between the main message, and then some “hashbuster text” (random text placed in spam messages used to defeat a number of anti-spam filtering techniques) prefixed with “And some english words:”.

It’s almost as if the spammers are being arrogant about the whole thing and not even making any attempt to hide the fact that it’s a hashbuster.

Oh well, it just makes our lives easier.
