Internet Explorer users may experience some difficulty seeing some tools on this page. Also, if you have a firewall, have certain security features turned on or if you are not connected to the internet you may also have difficulty since these tools maintain a dynamic connection to the internet for constant updates. The event clock above is a tool most often invisible. Other tools may appear in incorrect locations on the page for some few users.

You’ll see the “This link kills spam” link on several of our pages. This is a tool used to play mind games with the criminals who visit web pages and extract email addresses, then add those addresses to lists to whom they send spam. When they have extracted all of the addresses from our pages they then go to every page to which we are linked and extract any addresses they find there. One of those links is the link hidden behind the “This link kills spam” logo below. When they hit that page they encounter an infinite loop of bad email addresses that fill up their server with crap forcing them to either spend money to clean up their list or abandon the list entirely. This is just one way computer geeks like those on our staff mess with the minds of computer criminals. We wish we could share with you some of the other ways but we can’t but be assured that we are on top of computer crime and are on the leading edge of computer countermeasures technology on behalf of our clients.
