I don't really use any automated tools as am worried about false positives, instead I just watch who is messaging / following me and then deal with them manually. I did write a small script which speeds it up by doing the Reporting / Blocking for me.

There is a good news also. According to a recent report by F-Secure, <a href="http://www.jkwebtalks.com/2009/08/twitter-starts-to-filtering-tweets.html" rel="nofollow">Twitter is trying to implement a security system </a>(most probably using Google Safe Browsing API) for reducing the growing worms, spam and account hijacking attack from hackers. It won't allow to post known malware URL on twitter. Good work and some of them are new to me. There is a good news also.
