Spam or junk mail is becoming a serious problem of Internet users today. Spam is defined by some as an unsolicited email that is sent to various email addresses in bulk. A spam usually contains email that advertises a certain product. It becomes a problem when every time you open your email account, there is always a spam to greet you. For many, a spam is a major nuisance because it really eats up a lot of their time. Aside from this, it also consumes a lot of network bandwidth. If one heavily relies on the Internet in running a business, spam email can cause a serious problem with the network because some spam emails contain viruses and forms of spyware.
Ways to get rid of spam
Because of the nuisance caused by spam, it’s important that you know how to prevent it. One way is to create a separate email account that one would be using for friends and family and another email account for unfamiliar sources. The email application’s spam filtering features can also be used to avoid spam emails. Upon receiving an unfamiliar email, you can activate the filtering features to stop receiving another email from that particular sender. The third way to get rid of spam email is by identifying the origin of the spam email and reporting it to the Internet Service Provider or ISP.
Getting rid of spam email can really make web surfing hassle free and efficient. It can also lessen the chance of virus and spyware infection.
