Spam?

Just heard this from one of my coworkers:
Coworker Clueless: "I don't know what is that much email I am getting, so weird, what is it?"
Coworker Wise: "That is spam. Spurious email. The send it to you so you buy things".

CW Clueless: "So, it is a legitimate marketing company?"
CW Wise: attempts a lengthy explanation on the efforts against spam.

CW Clueless is an IT consultant. Doesn't know what spam is.

Outsourcing seems a viable option.

I bet they also have a lovely assortment of spyware they are blissfully unaware of

I bet they have a lovely assortment of spyware

You can say that. I actually found a lot in some coworkers PC, and when talking to helpdesk, they asked me if I was sure.
Perhaps it was the "gator" registry entry what tipped me off?

Oops! I thought I was shut down by Typekey thing
