#Michael Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Has anyone else noticed a slow down in the amount of spam they sent to them. Up until 1 week ago, I was getting 20-30 spam messages a day with viri in them. Now I seem to be getting around 5 per day. Not that I am complaining or anything....just find it interesting.
