    They have all put the same message.

    (Here are some links that I believe will be interested)

    with a link to some (probably virus) pages, how can I stop bots or spamming on my blog, it is hosted on your severs.

    unfortunately, spam’s a problem for everyone. akismet should catch most of it.

    when something gets through, don’t delete the comment.
    go to Manage > Comments in your dashboard, and use the ‘mark as spam’ option, so akismet can learn and get better.

    Welcome to the Internet. You get used to it after a while.

    If ISPs like Earthlink, MSN, Time Warner and others would step up and admit that they let their users do crap like that and put a stop to it, maybe someday we wouldn’t have to deal with it. Heck, even AOL has cleaned up their act over the last few years.

    Until then, I bounced over 2 million connections from my own servers yesterday.

    @ drmike

    Wow 2 million, I get hundreds of spam mail in my inbox, but they just get slammed into the spam box, and then never come back, but I was suprised to see it hit my blog, its not as if its a mega popular blog, so people would click the link that was advertised by the spam bot, so I did as sugested by sunburntkamel, so hopefully it wont come back, but like ya said, I guess we just have to get used to this type of rubbish floating around the net.

    Thanks for the reply.
