The big online service should begin lobbying Congress to beef up CAN-SPAM, the wimpy federal anti-spam law. Read on as spam expert Brian McWilliams takes a look at the problems with spam legislation and what must be done to stem the tide of junk e-mail.

System Tray Whack-a-Mole

System Tray Whack-a-Mole 01/27/2004 06:22 PM

One of my biggest pet peeves is Windows software that doesn't run need to run all the time, but still feels the need to put some crappy icon in the system tray. Honestly, folks, there's not much legitimate reason for Real Player and Quicktime to have components that start up every time I run my computer. To me, adding an unnecessary icon to my system tray is only slightly more polite than taking a dump on my front porch.

Mike Lin has written two great apps to help with this. One's called Startup Control Panel, which provides a quick interface to view (and optionally remove) all of the things that start up when you log in. There are a half dozen places in the registry that do this, so it's great to have them all together like this. I was amazed to find programs in there for about 8 shareware programs that I tried once and never used again.

Once you're clean, you can stay that way with Startup Monitor, a very tiny app that runs in the background and lets you know when a program is trying to put more crap in your startup, and gives you the option of preventing it.

These apps probably aren't for novice users, as some of these programs may not run well without their startup components, but geeks will appreciate the convenience.

Check out some of the other programs on Mike Lin's site while you're there. Mike is apparently an evil genius, and has concocted quite a few small, light apps that address some of Windows' niggling little annoyances.

New Google Spam Fighting

New Google Spam Fighting 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
WebmasterWorld: Good news about expired domains. ``We've also put more of a focus on algorithmic improvements for spam issues. One resulting improvement with this index is better handling of expired domains--the authority for a domain will be reset when a domain expires, even though dangling links to the expired domain are still out on the web. We'll be rolling this change in over the next few months starting with this index. [...] I think you'll see more emphasis at Google on scalable algorithms rather than responding to individual spam reports.'' Basically, when you buy a domain that previously expired, you won't get the PageRank the old domain's owner accrued. Neat idea....

Google Worried Its IPO Will Be Filtered
Away As Spam

Google Worried Its IPO Will Be Filtered
Away As Spam 08/09/2004 12:51 PM
There have been plenty of stories in the past year or so about legitimate emails being filtered away as spam (even the NY Times caught up on this topic last week). However, in an amusing twist, Google is suddenly realizing that their IPO-by-email system may run into problems with spam filters, and are trying to pre-warn ISPs to whitelist all the emails they're about to send out concerning the IPO. Of course, this probably means the next big phishing expedition is going to involve spoofed Google IPO emails. Perhaps email isn't really the best way to go about offering such information. Meanwhile, it will be amusing to see if reports come out that Yahoo or Hotmail just happen to classify Google IPO emails as spam. Just think of the conspiracy theories.

Google Changes Algorithm to Fight Spam 02/01/2005 09:10 PM
With the huge popularity of Blogs, it was only a matter of time before spammers realized that they could exploit Blogs by turning them into spam farms. The ability of Blog users to add a link in the comments section is what has ultimately caused increasing problems for search engines. Spammers using programs, or even going in by hand, can enter in text links to their porn, pills, casino, or “you name it” websites. [PRWEB Feb 1, 2005]

Big Bug: Google Blocks All Results When
Blocking Spam

Big Bug: Google Blocks All Results When
Blocking Spam 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
Seth Finkelstein has made a startling discovery, backed with lots of evidence: when a spam result comes up in a search, Google not only blocks the spam, but every result after it. This means that for searches where spam results manage to rise to the top, very few -- sometimes zero -- results will be returned. Examples: motorcycle candle, keyboard bracelet. These are common words for which you'd expect to see results (in fact, the latter even says there are thousands of results) but the bug prevents them from being seen. Eliminating the spam pages (by blocking a word, antenna, that appears on them) allows full results to be displayed. It's pretty amazing that such a serious bug made it past Google's tests. It will be interesting to see how quickly it's fixed....

The latest study on spam trends appears to show that financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam - though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to slow down the amount of spam sent.

Well gosh, best of luck with the viral marketing thing there, Dr Pepper/Seven Up (DPSU). I think if I were handed the problem of how to get word out about ‘extreme milk’ that’s the road I’d take. It just feels right.

Here in the land of cheese-eating surrender monkeys (last week the Chirac government issued mandatory t-shirts carrying the slogan ‘anti-American, PoMo, MultiCulti and mocking your fat ass’) they’ve been selling nuked milk for years – in fact it’s hard to find any fresh stuff past the aisles of hideous, plasticky milk in cardboard boxes at room temperature, with expiry dates generations away, owing to all that mad cow business.
