What is ICQ spam, probably known even to children, and only those who work in the Internet and a fortiori not need to explain. Paradoxically, spammers are still concerned decent user annoying letters, questionable links, and other computer “infection”. Worse than not become master spammed mailbox or numbers.
Clog ICQ spammers, until recently, was not too difficult. For sending spam bots selected set of numbers according to specific criteria, and sometimes do without him.
