Are you a Zombie?

No, of course you're not. But your computer could be. "Zombie PCs are computers that have been infected by malicious code that allows spammers to use them to send e-mail," according to Tom Spring, of PC World. Anyone who uses a cable connection and whose computer is always online makes a perfect target.

Mr. Spring says:

Have you been labeled a spammer? You may be able to find out. First determine what your Internet protocol address is by using a site like WhatIsMyIP.com. Next punch your IP address (or your domain name, for business users) into DNSstuff's Spam Database Lookup site to see a list of antispam companies that recommend blocking your e-mail.

If you feel you might be infected, head over to tips.littlehosting.com for some tips on protecting yourself.
