Spam has been defined as the abuse of messaging systems to send bulk messaging
. Generally these messages are commercial and trying to sell a product or a service that can end up costing the receiver a great deal of money, directly or indirectly. Whilst not all spam messages are commercial in nature, spam accounts for more than 85% of all emails sent and is a real nuisance at the least and actually dangerous at worst. Many of these messages are actually being sent out via domestic computer,s which are likely to have viruses or worms that are then transmitted along with the email - as we know these can be potentially fatal to computers.
The only sensible way to deal with getting rid of spam is to make sure that you have an up to date spam filter. You must also make sure that the filter can be up dated regularly because there is a whole industry of computer nerds spending all their working time working out how to get round them. You have to realise that getting a message across via email actually makes unscrupulous people a huge amount of money and they are happy to speculate in order to accumulate. As it is virtually impossible to prove where the original spam messages were sent from it is difficult to prosecute the perpetrators so it is up to the individual to do all they can to protect their own computer.
