    Something tells me, those programs are free and called viruses and trojans, since a good part of wordpress spam comes from infected computers.

    Yeah thousands of computers can be used as slaves so that the spamming is not coming from any particular place to incriminate a hardcore spammer.

    Tens of thousands of people on a daily basis are completely unaware that their pc is doing the dirty work for someone else.

    There are tons of free automated comment posting software that does this, they even charge money for that software. I'm sure you'll find this in the script section. Boo to spammers!
