Ever since the mention of the new software that does this, on the boards lately, I've been getting almost a dozen of these things a day.
I'm not even going to mention the name of this program, but it can spam a whole block of IP's, easily.
The posts talking about it did nothing, except drawing spammers attentions to it.

I havn't seen it, yet then again, I don't use windows except to play a few games (which happens after I physically unplug my network connection)
It's a standard windows being over-permissive to make it easier for MCSE (must call someone experienced) clowns
to get fancy features working on their network. It's on by default,
many don't know how to turn it off, so it's an ideal spam mechanism.
No different than javascript popup windows to those poor suckers
that still use IE really. When your computer opens windows you
didn't ask it to, it's time to figure out what is fucked up with
your computer.
