Using a free spam Tool

Utilizing a free spam tool to filter spam is one way to help reduce the clutter in your inbox.

What is spam? Any type of unsolicited commercial email. This annoying email is a waste of time, diskspace and bandwith, but unfortunately something we all must live with. There are new laws to deal with spammers however, there is little hope that spammers will adhere to the laws so the only thing left to do is to try to filter out as much of it as you can.

How Spammers Get Your Email Address

Sadly enough, most spammers got your email address because you gave it to them! If you have ever posted in a forum or advertised on the internet and included your email then it was probably grabbed by a spammer. Spammers have robots that crawl the web looking for anything in the form of an email address, so if you have a web site with your email listed on it or you are published in any kind of directory or listed on a site, your email is sure to get on a mailing list. Unfortunately, no software anti spam program, not even a free spam tool can remove you from the lists.

Spam Can Be More Than Annoying

You need a free spam tool for spam filtering, you should also have an antivirus tool to get rid of any viruses that sneak on to your computer Spam emails can be infected, so clicking on them can open your computer up to a virus. It is estimated that almost all viruses are spread through email. Typically, a virus will spread by infecting a computer and then mailing itself out to everyone on the address list. Some other viruses can even open a “back door” on your computer which spammers then use to send out more junk mail.
