Using a spam and pop up protection Tool

With a spam and pop up protection tool to help filter out spam can be a good step in reducing your email clutter.

Spam is email from a person or company who you never signed up to get email from. This annoying email is a waste of time, diskspace and bandwith, but unfortunately something we all must live with. Even with new anti spam laws, there is little hope that spammers will adhere to the laws so your best defense is to filter out as much as you can from your email

How Spammers Get Email Addresses

Unfortunately, it is probably something that you did that got your address on a list. Sometimes when you order something your email gets sold to a list, but most times it is harvested from a web site. If you have your email listed in an online advertisement, on a website or have published it in a forum, it is likely that it will be harvested for one of these lists. Unfortunately, once you are on these lists, not even a spam and pop up protection tool can remove you from the lists.

Spam Can Be Harmful

You need a spam and pop up protection tool to filter the spam, but you need an antivirus tool as well. Spam emails can be infected, so clicking on them can open your computer up to a virus. It’s estimated that 95% of all viruses are spread through email. Once a virus gets into your computer, it can spread itself by mailing itself out to everyone on your address list.
