You should be grateful. Thursday, January 9, 2003 at 4:27 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Downstrike (1 messages posted) I have a comment about Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages: You should be grateful that it wasn't a hacker or one of the recent viruses that find their way in through network connections. The only time I get these particular annoyances is when I've forgotten that I deactivated my firewall for some reason. I'm glad to be reminded at that point to reactivate it and do virus and spyware scans. That doesn't mean I'm going to read the SPAM very carefully. :^D Sam Responses to this message: re: You should be grateful.does not always mean deactivated firewall (andyr00: Tuesday, April 8, 2003 at 2:12 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] You should be grateful.
