The servers targeted by the screensaver have been manually selected from various sources, including Spamcop, and verified to be spam advertising sites, Lycos claims. How will they "manually" choose which spammers they'll go after? Personal eVendetta? It'll just cause the spammers to use the zombie networks more and more. It seems to me to just be an advertising gimmick, not a solution. scott
