Spam Blocking 360

Most of the spam out there is simply a nuisance, but some have severe consequences. Most people know about viruses, worms and trojans, but there is a huge growth rate on the amount of phishing, spoofing botnets and keystokers being delivered via email. Phishing is a legitimate looking email sent in an attempt to gather personal information. Spoofing is the high-jacking of an email address to disseminate spam so it looks like it is coming from a legitimate source (you). Botnets download malicious software that can enable a criminal to take over your PC. Keystrokers run in the background on a PC and record every keystroke made. Then the keystrokes are later retrieved to see if they can get credit card or other personal information. So now that we all understand that spam is much more than just a nuisance, here is a top ten list of ideas to help stem the tide – and they are all FREE!!!
