Think you are referring to Lycos' antispam screensaver. In essence, Lycos had a website (makelovenotspam.com) that offered users a screensaver that would, when active, launch repeated Denial-of-Service attacks against known Spammers' websites. In layman's terms, it used the otherwise idle processing power of your computer while in screensaver mode to attack spammers' websites, hence slowing them down and possibly even overloading them. Much like the mydoom viruses which reaped havoc for Microsoft, with DoS attacks aimed at www.microsoft.com back in 2004. But like reported in this article, DoS attacks are actually illegal in most countries, and the Lycos website was soon hacked and disabled, leaving only a warning message advising visitors that their IP address had been referred to their Internet Service Provider. The joys of being a computer nerd - you can't help but clarify things for people... :p Regards Nick http://nickhough.blogspot.com
