Anyway, here is one method...

Thanks for the information, but I say no thanks to NewsProxy, a
program hosted on a Warez web site. You have no way of knowing if
that program contains malicious code or not.

It is plausible that the threat that originated this message thread is
specifically meant to cause readers to run NewsProxy, and unwittingly
become gateways for spam Usenet articles and e-mail.

Given the noise generated by those who can't resist posting harassing
followups to every article posted by certain subscribers to
rec.aviation.piloting, it is obvious that the newsgroup's readership
has become adept at filtering out irrelevant articles. I choose to
do that with any sporge that may show up, without resorting to
software hosted on a web site devoted to pirated software.
