Using a spam killer Tool

Employing a spam killer tool to filter out spam before it gets to your inbox can make reading your mail a more pleasant experience.

Unsolicited commercial email is commonly referred to as spam. If you’ve ever had your email on a spam list, then you know how annoying it is to have to wade through dozens of advertisements to get to the mail you want to read. Even though there are laws in place, spammers have little regard for the law and, it is unlikely that people who send spam will adhere to these laws so the only thing left to do is to try to filter out as much of it as you can.

How Did Your Address Get On An Email List?

Spammers have sophisticated software that crawls the web looking for email addresses. If you have posted your email anywhere on the web, this could be how it got out to spammers. 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, no software anti spam program, not even a spam killer tool can remove you from the lists.

Spam Can Be Harmful

For your defense, you need a spam killer 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. 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.
