How To Prevent Spam Unsolicited Emails
Spam is simply unsolicited emails (sometimes referred to as ‘junk mail’), which are sent to your inbox, and as well as being annoying they can also contain potentially harmful programs that could infect your computer should you open them or any infected attachments they contain, or click on links to malicious websites provided in the email.
You cannot prevent spam completely, but there are ways to reduce the amount of spam that is delivered to your inbox:
Newsletter – many websites ask you to provide your email address in order for you to sign up to newsletters and special offers that are then sent to you by email. When you sign up to this kind of service make sure you check the privacy policy of the website provider, so that you can check how they are going to treat your personal information. Some website administrators will pass collected email addresses onto third parties such as affiliate companies, and this could mean that you receive large volumes of spam mail just from signing up to one newsletter.
Strong Email Addresses – obvious email addresses such as ‘karen@hotmail.com’ are just to easy to guess and so will be more likely to receive a lot of spam mail, so choose an email that is a good combination of numbers and letters as this will help to reduce the amount of spam mail received.
