Default You think spam is bad?

Check out this site http://www.directadvertiser.com/

It uses instant messaging (Windows Messenger service) to spam. :x http://www.directadvertiser.com/screenshot.gif

"We have developed a software that will send your messages directly to the computer screen of the people you wanted to see your advertising. Instantly!" :evil: :evil:

Bastards!!!! They're now spamming IPs :x :x :x

What a joke.. the following is an except of the company's Terms of Service:

Anti-spam policy
DirectAdvertiser.com has a strict NO-SPAM policy. DirectAdvertiser.com will not assist you in sending unsolicited advertising, and it is not liable for any damages cause by such actions.

Yeah, we were forced to turn off Windows Messenger on all our workstations. On the servers, though, we're reluctant to do so -- it's needed for important Windows service announcements.
