This happened once before about two years ago. My Outlook Express started spewing out reams of spam (90% of the impotency variety) much more than usual - then it settled down in a few days. We got our spam filter just after that.
This week, since Wednesday, back it came again. It is being filtered out, but still I am aware it is happening, from the sheer volume of the trash! From about a daily dozen usually, to about a hundred now.
Is anyone else finding this? I think my worry is the fact my normal emails are thin on the ground simultaneously, and non-technos like me can wrongly assume there is a connection.
