www.confickerworkinggroup.org

You should be able to see all picutres if you are not infected.

As long as as you have a trustable AV with the latest definitions it should be fine.

768726 2009-05-01 09:59:00 Maybe it's Conficker? (Not on your PC, I mean on other infected PC's)
It's starting to send out spam, infected computers 10,000 - 20,000 spams per day. Doesn't sound like a lot per PC, but multiply that by all the PC's infected worldwide and that could account for it.

No, its not that. I can see all the images in the chart. Still 20 odd spam a day, but spamguard is working at least.

No no, like I said I didn't mean *your* PC is infected. I meant other computers throughout the world that are infected with Conficker, are now starting to send out Spam. You could be on the receiving end of some of that and that's why your spam count has gone up recently.
According the the article, infected PC 's are starting to send out 10-20,000 spams a day. Multiply that by the ~12million infected PC's throughout the world - chances are some of it's headed your way! That might be why you've noticed more spam than normal.
