One interesting thing I noticed when I switched from Blogspot to WordPress is the amount of spam comments posted.  I usually see four or five a week, and dutifully clean them off.  Today, I looked and there were 74.  I don’t remember how long it’s been since I last checked, what with my computer switch-over and all.

I don’t know what the point is of all the spam.  I assume it’s to lure people to some disreputable sites and infect their systems with spyware, but having never followed one of those links, I don’t know for certain.  In any case, nobody should be searching around the web without some good anti-malware protection.  I’ve used Norton and McAfee in the past, but currently I’m using Kaspersky.  When I switched over to my iMac, one of the first things I did was to download the new version of Kaspersky Internet Security.  They say Macs are less a target than PCs, but I’m not taking any chances.

You shouldn’t either.  There are several good Internet Security programs available online for free or nearly free.  Google AVG or Avast, if you have nothing else already.  Stay safe!
