ban Asian ip addresses. Ban chinese spammers with htaccess

After receiving tons of spam on a few websites I've decided to ban the whole apnic addresses Since I've not found anything to ban the whole APNIC I've searched for the assigned classes that they manage. How to ban chinese spammers. P.S. I've added a few LACNIC (last update 2012-11-16) Download here the file or just add the content in a .htaccess file and the spam from the Asia should be gone. Put the .htaccess in the main (or any other) folder of your website.

AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet Adapter - Windows XP, 2003 Drivers

It could happen that you cannot find the drivers ( AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet Adapter - not installed) of the ethernet (nic) adapter that is used in  virtualbox .  PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_2000&SUBSYS_20001022&REV_40\3&267A616A&0&18 I've found also this link https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3411 but I was unable to see a working download. Since the links to the amd websites are failing and it seems that they canno be found website I'm adding a new link. Here you can download the  Drivers AMD PCNET for Virtualbox They have been tested with Windows XP 32bit  and Virtualbox 4.2.0 r80737 . After a bit of time I've tested them with Windows 7 pro 32bit (a slim version) and they work. They also work on Windows 2003 R2 (thanks to David Acosta). If you have a direct link to the AMD website or any other good information just add it in the comments.
