Or buy a router. Better than a software shield. Then, you can have a network if you have more than one comp.

Of course it is traceable. There is no benefit to spam unless someone is making money. The spam is there to get traffic to someone who is selling something -- they are responsible.

This happened to me. Several weeks ago, while I stepped away from the computer, thinking I was protected by ZoneAlarm, I discovered that I had been sending out spam for something called lendingtree.com. I only learned of it because about 50 of the emails were bounced back to me as being undeliverable. I have no idea how many were sent from my computer. You can visit the website of Gibson Research and get free software to clean up your computer and get rid of all the junkware.

It's all Al Gore's fault. He invented the internet.
