So - although spam is annoying, it is also a carrier of viruses, malicious software and can be used to enter computer systems for classified or personal information.
The most important factor with spam is simply to block it. Spam, fortunately, is a relatively "low tech" form of fraud and intrusion into your computer's software and and hardware systems. It works in the most basic way possible: by sending masses of emails to override your email filter and get your attention. In this respect, spam is nothing more than the 21st version of a "chain letter."
Just keep in mind to block spam and keep a lookout for emails that are not from recognized sources or do not make any sense. This is just basic advice in the modern world. Also, fortunately, spam is such an old method of fraud and overriding computer systems that most people are aware of it, or at least have heard of it. Also, fortunately, most ISP's and service providers provide a "spam" folder for placing incoming spam messages away from your system and "junking" them.
We will move on to a new topic tomorrow.
