Topband: Spam on the Reflector!

[Gary Smith]

The one from Jim was SPAM, originating from Peru (IP address 
190.40.217.23) It's possible the sender used a spoofed IP but it 
really doesn't matter, it was SPAM and obviously not topband 
oriented.

To check your computer for viruses, trojans & exploits, an excellent 
choice is "malwarebytes" http://www.malwarebytes.org/ The free 
version is excellent.

Kim Komando is a well known internet guru regarding computer issues. 
She suggests malwatebytes and spyware blaster, both free. Here are 
links to her comments on both:

If you use microsoft, you might want to try microsoft essentials, a 
free download from microsoft.
