First, what is spam? People so often talk about it. But what it really is? To put it simply, spam is an illegal method to force people to receive a message that they would not choose to receiver if… they had a choice. Spam works quite efficiently. A spammer floods the Internet with thousands of copies of the same message. As you probably already guessed most of those messages are commercial advertisements. But unfortunately in most of the cases those advertisements are not legal either.

What you can find in spam messages? Offers for dubious products or get-rich-quick schemes. Do you think that it costs a lot of time and trouble to spam? You are wrong! The more trouble and lost time to deal with spam messages has the one who receiver spam. Email addresses are most often targeted because it is not difficult to find thousands or even millions of email addresses and it takes a few second to spam them all. In order to protect your own inbox from spam more and more people decide to use a Spam filter or a spam blocker. Web filter s are becoming more and more popular nowadays too. But unfortunately even thought there are more ways to protect yourself from spam also spammers get better ways to spam. It is a real battle between Anti spam software and spammers.
