It's a part of our internet going lives, spam. It's everywhere, unavoidable. Only thing is, I really don't get much spam (if any, honestly, I don't remember getting any types of spam) on the MSN Messenger and AIM services. I do however, get loads of it from Yahoo. Didn't use to. It really has escalated since this January. These random, "Hi <username>, website." It used to be once or twice a day beginning with it, but today alone I had 10 of them! 10! If I don't click their links the first time what in the WORLD makes them think I'm going to click it when they repeatedly put it in my face. I'm not common, "Hey look! Links! Let's click everything and get infected with spyware." There's a reason that my older pc has been running FOR 7 YEARS! I know I could immediately end it by simply blocking everyone who isn't a friend. One problem. Trillian. I don't want to have a billion programs installed. I used to not like trillian, it was buggy, bulky, and slowed my other pc down. This pc, can run Command & Conquer 3 and Call of Duty 4 at the same time and not blink about it (I found that out by mistake one day.) I do enjoy using Trillian, but this spam is just incredible. With this much spam not being stopped by Yahoo!, maybe they're being "monetarily persuaded" to overlook it, or directing it all at Trillian users. Quite frankly, it's ticking me off and I may just tell Trillian to stop signing into Yahoo all together.
