Denis,

Computational puzzles will only work if spammers are unable to hijack machines and steal processing power, and that requires something radically different than our current system of relying upon individuals to purchase third-party antivirus software and keep subscriptions current. The enormous problems caused by hijacked Windows machines must be solved at the source: Microsoft, which should be required to build in antivirus protection and offer free, unlimited updates, as a condition of selling its operating system. But that's the topic for another column.

Cheers,

Randy Stross
