Email Spam

Email Spam.

Email spam, also known as junk mail, is an email that is sent to a huge number of people. Clinking on any of the links or attachments on the email may send you to a phishing website, or a site hosting malicious software. 

Spam may be cheap for the people who send it, but it can be a serious expense for a business. Spam management costs businesses more than $71 billion annually in lost productivity.

There are ways to prevent spam:

• ·         Use a spam filter; many internet service providers are increasingly providing this service.
• ·         Be careful who you give your email address away.
• ·         Don’t advertise your email on chat rooms or websites.
• ·         Don’t click on any links or adverts in the email.
•  

Although these might not always stop spam, they will reduce the amount you get and will keep you safe from getting any malware or viruses on your computer.
