A new botnet is on the scene, and it's overtaken the Storm worm's. Called Mega-D, it is currently responsible for 32% of all spam mails sent, 11% more than the Storm Worm botnet at its peak last September. Mega-D's botnet heavily promotes so called "male enhancement" pills and several other pharmaceutical products. It uses news headlines, including the recent death of actor heath ledger, to trick recipients into opening the message, and comes with a Trojan designed to add the recipient's computer to the botnet.

"[Mega-D] probably started about four months ago and it's been steadily increasing since then," said Bradley Anstis, vice-president of products at Marshal, a security vendor."It is possible that the individuals behind the Storm botnet are responsible for one or more of these other botnets."

Marshal now estimates the Storm worm's botnet is now responsible for just 2% of the world's spam.

Response from: Natural Penis Enlargement Pills Product (07/31/09 8:44am)

Male Enhancement Pills are a natural herbal supplement and have not been shown to have any serious side effects. If you have any medical concerns you may review the ingredients with your doctor or healthcare professional.

Male Enhancement Pills are an ingestible supplement; the results you see are permanent as long as you continue to take the recommended dosage. Once desired results are achieved, some men scale back dosage to a maintenance amount of one capsule three or four times a week. This reduction in dosage should not compromise erection size or fullness, once desired results have been achieved.
