[Desmond]

I have just looked at one of the links on a recent post here NASIR and
found an atempt to put a virus on my computer. Should this be
removed ?

Just ignore the post of NASIR. Or put it in a filter.

But a lot of news servers have spam and virus filters built in. I rarely
see any of it on news.individual.net. They don't allow binaries, anyway.

But you *can* report him to his ISP. I just reported his post to
SpamCop, along with a dozen other posts done at other times throughout
my subscribed NG’s.

This isn't Google, this is usenet. You cant remove posts. get yourself a
news.individual account for something like $10 a year.

Wrong.

Although post removal is so easily spoofed that the vast majority of
Usenet servers no longer honour removal requests, you *can* remove a
post on some servers; by spoofing another person to remove their post,
or by removing your own. Post removal authentication is not done by IP
address, it is done by user-id.

Failing that, the person you replied to mentioned reporting the
offending post to the Google Groups admin. This *will* have a positive
effect over time, as spammers will have their Google accounts closed if
enough people complain. If we make it not worth their while to post via
Google Groups, then they will not use that method any more. And if they
post directly using a Usenet server, then we’ll have their IP address to
use to report them to their ISP. Kill the snake by cutting its head off,
as it were.

It’s like a vast game of whack-a-mole, but if you are annoyed enough by
spammers to take the time, a NG *can* be made relatively clean.
