Dumb question, but...

It is obvious that the spammer uses a robot. A set it and forget it program.

Here is my question for any IT guru's out there:

Is it possible that the bot in question is actually installed on, and operating from one or more of the Faithful's computers without his knowledge? A zombie?

I realize that the url of the spammer is not one of us, and apparently not easily blocked, but the decision to continue to post here by the spammer seems irrational in light of the lack of responses from this forum. As if a bot were just running through of someone's "Favorites" list.

Is everyone here runninng anti-virus, anti-spy ware, and firewall software AND updating them regularly?
(That's a rehtorical question no one really has to answer.)
