It's not just this group, and it's not porn.

The attached .scr file is of course a virus. I assume the ones which
refer to a website also lead to a virus. All the disparate newsgroups I
read have had a sharp increase in this sort of stuff lately.

Does anyone know of a good news server that carries the binary groups?

I have broadband but my server doesn't carry them - which is a bit
pointless...

Use a different news server. I use Forte's APN service. It costs me
$2.95 a month, but I never see any of these spam articles.
