My old ISP has a pretty effective spam filter but this slips through. What is the purpose really? Is it from a virus, do they want to sell anything or just bug me?

Yup!

The image has the actual spam, because spam reporting houses don't have OCR filters (yet).

SpyBot Search & Destroy is and has always been a FREEWARE

Don't you agree, pinkmouse.
