Hi All

Speaking personaly I dont have a problem with spam. The spam that I do get is quickly dealt with by the spam filter on my kerio mail server.

I believe that most of the problem is self inflicted. People tend to give there email address to anyone at the drop of a hat. I treat my email address like my credit card number and only give it to people I know.

I have a hotmail address that I use for web site reg. on downloads ext. and every month I go into the account and delete the lot.

I have found that a great deal of the spam is caused by spyware running on peoples systems. Gator, cydor ect. These spyware apps often send your email address of to marketing sites.

How many people actualy know about adaware ?????
