Well, looks like Captain Mark‌ and all the crew at becomeanex have regained control of the ship. Thanks Mark, et. al.

Now for breakfast. Here's what we do with SPAM at the EX Cafe: we slice it, dice it, fry it up in a pan. Pour melted cheese over it. Shake it and Bake it. With spicy mustard or grilled pineapple. We know what to do with spam.

I don't know about you, but I'm heated enough. Here's a cold tall one for everyone, on the house!

If you are here as a human, do this:

1. Scan your computer with a Second Opinion Scanner second opinion malware scanners

Many anti-virus programs don't detect bot net-related software. Consider installing and using a second opinion scanner to see if your primary anti-virus might have missed something.

I use the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as my second wall.

2. Don't click links

While you might be tempted to just peak at the suspicious content, don't. You can right click, copy and paste into an online translator like Google Translate if you can't resist knowing the content of the spammed post.
