I view "about.com" as a virus, they spam "non stop".
I have blocked them.

Sometimes I think these viruses are a giant "marketing ploy" to sell security software.

I know what you mean. I got 96 e-mails from them today. Somehow, I ended up on their list this morning. Someone's idea of a prank I suspect. But, the virus one got my attention so I figured I'd pass it on just in case.

(BTW, I e-mailed them and asked them to remove me from all of their lists. I got a response within an hour that said they would have my off within 24 hours)

Glen, I clicked on "unsubscribe" then came the e-mail saying "you must unsubscribe from each and every newsletter," not just once (sounds delebirate to me), and I don't find that policy ETHICAL .

What e-mail address did you use ?? cause they are still comming !!

Whoooaa......

I used the help page and used the "abuse" subject title.

http://home.about.com/gi/pages/pform.htm

I then explained the problem in the "The Problem" box.

Hi guys,
If you haven't done it recently, you might want to run "Windows update" too.
There's a new security patch for windows 98 just released on Thursday.

Havin' fun,
