Spam Supplement

With the distinction between spam and malware becoming increasingly blurred, and the two types of threats increasingly related, the decision was taken to retire Virus Bulletin's Spam Supplement in July 2009. Virus Bulletin continues to cover spam and anti-spam issues - including articles on technical and ethical aspects of spam, some relating to real-world experiences of dealing with spam, and of course our VBSpam comparative reviews of anti-spam products.

These articles can now be found integrated into the rest of the publication.

When do you install software updates?
As soon as they are released
As soon as I have some time
I take my time, but I always install them eventually
Only when I feel it is absolutely necessary
Never
