“Internet portal Lycos has made a screensaver that endlessly requests data
from sites that sell the goods and services mentioned in spam e-mail.

Lycos hopes will it make the monthly bandwidth bills of spammers soar by
keeping their servers running flat out.

The net firm estimates that if enough people sign up and download the tool,
spammers could end up paying to send out terabytes of data. “

   Pity their map of the world is just Europe. The site itself looks quite spammy too, Lycos is trying to do a Lazarus.

   I’ve installed it, it’s an ad for lycos, viral marketing and all that, good idea, I think I’ll pass.
