The Federal Trade Commission wants consumers to know that spammers could
gain access to their computers and then control those computers from
afar. Steps to protect personal computers can be found in the FTC's
consumer alert, "Who's Spamming Who? Could it be You?", available at
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/whospamalrt.htm.

If you communicate with your users, members, or employees through a Web
site, newsletter, or other method, please feel free to share this
information with them. You can forward the link, copy and paste the
text, or send hard copies.

If you have any questions, contact me. If you'd prefer that I not
contact you with further FTC materials on information security, please
let me know.
