How to find out from which country a person is sending spam on hotmail?please help?
AV FIRM Sophos released figures which it said showed the USA was the biggest culprit in spam generation.


Nearly one in three spam messages were generated there, Sophos said.


Carole Theriault, a security consultant at Sophos, said: "The problem is there are thousands of spammers using many thousands of compromised zombie computers in the U.S. The only way we're going to reduce the problem is if U.S. authorities invest a lot more in educating computer users of the dangers, while ensuring ISPs step up their monitoring efforts to identify these compromised machines as early as possible."


Goodie two shoes Canada, she said, only generates 0.8 per cent of spam and emails.


Here are the Sophos鈥?figures:


1. United States 28.4%


2. South Korea 5.2%


3. China (inc. Hong Kong) 4.9%


4. Russia 4.4%


5. Brazil 3.7%


6. France 3.6%


7. Germany 3.4%


8. Turkey 3.2%


9. Poland 2.7%


10. United Kingdom 2.4%


11. Romania 2.3%


12. Mexico 1.9%


Other 33.9%


In all, North America accounts for 32.3 per cent of spam relay, Asia 31.1 per cent, Europe 24.8 per cent, South America 9.1 per cent and Africa 2.1 per cent. Other - that would include Antarctica we presume - accounts for 0.6 per cent.
