Lycos Europe’s antispam tool no longer available
After days of negative publicity and criticism, Lycos Europe’s “Make love not spam” screensaver application is no longer available. The company says it’s just been too popular and promises it will be back.
Visitors to the Web site are presented with a graphic urging them to “stay tuned.” Previously, Web surfers could download the screensaver from the site. The application uses the idle processing power of users’ computers to slow down bandwidth that connects to spammers’ Web sites.
