    Last Christmas (Dec. '07), spam about quintupled. by bwkaz 2008-04-07 16:39:37
That's spam in general, not just spam to you. I'm not surprised you saw the increase around then; that's when all the new, unpatched, unfirewalled XP machines that people bought for Christmas got put directly out onto the Internet.

SIGH. I *HATE* all the OEMs that give out horribly unpatched versions of windows.

Anyway, I doubt it had much to do with the win98 machine (though I don't know for sure); I suspect it was just all the new bots.
