Well, so are the rest of us. e-Mail spamming has been around for quite a while, yet it is still used very frequently! This month, e-Mail spam is said that 90% of e-mails are spam (according to Symantec)!

Over 50% of this spam comes from botnets. A Botnet is a large network of PC’s controlled by a “bot master” in which infected these PC’s with his trojan (virus).

To prevent all this from happening, once again, stay updated! Also, if you would like to keep your personal e-Mail spam free, I would suggest having 2 e-Mail addresses. You should have one for personal, meaning you don’t post it on ANY sites, no forums, blogs, newsletters, nothing. This will prevent spammers from crawling websites and extracting e-Mails, thus spamming your inbox. You can then create another e-Mail if you need to sign up at forums, blogs, and other websites.

Using the methods above is a good method of saving time and money. You will not need anti-spam protection firewalls in which do less than nothing!
