I am looking for ideas to stop the spam created by compromised Windows
PC's. This is not about the various worms and viruses replicating but
these boxes acting as open relays or open proxies.
There are valid reasons not to run antivirus software, coupled with
clueless users, this results in machines that SPAM again just a few hours
after having been cleaned.
