Kill spam - Virus scan software

Some web users treat spam as a breach of security. The sending of unsolicited e-mail means that the sender has somehow obtained the address of the recipient without permission, and is using this information in order to advertise their company. Ever since the practice of spamming began, it has been looked down upon to such an extent that legislation is now in place to prevent such misuse of e-mail addresses.

The dangers of spam are that fraudulent, inappropriate and offensive e-mails are delivered to recipients who at best do not want to receive it, and at worst are not suitable viewers of such material. For example, spam is a common tool among the adult industry. Spam senders rarely verify the owner of an e-mail address, and so there is as much chance of a youngster receiving these adult mailings as an adult.
