There is war on the web every day. Website operators are almost attacked with bots and parts of the website are hijacked every second or misused for other undesirable purposes (e.g. link spam). Until now, the individual webmaster only had the option of taking their own protective measures via .htaccess. Not anymore!

The web spam we call this consists of: Comment and image spam in the form of guest book spam, form spam, forum spam, wikispam, blog spam, referrer spam, but also content grabbers, email harvesters, scrapers, NPH proxies for generating "duplicate content", ... ... the list is endless. A PHP script that is freely available from us can be integrated into your own website and blocks the malware. The script updates itself (like a virus scanner) with new blocking features and thus always offers current spam protection for webmasters.
