HOW TO STOP UNWANTED E-MAIL BY GREGG GRESHAM
Gregg Gresham discusses ways by which you can easy arrest the flow of spam e-mail to your inbox.
You can stop unwanted email spam, you can choose to reduce spam email or you can do nothing and continue to be annoyed. Those are your only choices because spam is not likely to ever go away.
Although every single one of us would love to stop unwanted emails only a very small percentage of people do anything but complain about spam.
Some of you might remember a couple of years ago they passed a new federal spam law that was supposed to eliminate spam email. So why is spam still around and why is it so difficult to stop it?
Email spammers buy lists of email addresses from list brokers, who compile their lists by harvesting email addresses from the Internet. Then they send millions of unwanted email messages to the addresses with the click of a mouse.
Email spammers make huge amounts of money from these lists and that's why they do it. These email spammers are breaking the The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 law in every conceivable way.
This federal spam law, which became effective January 1, 2004, is next to impossible to enforce. Email spammers make so much money they can afford to outsmart The Federal Trade Commission with sophisticated technology.
Now that you know the origin of spam email and why email spammers are sending this junk you realize that spam is not likely to go away anytime soon. But that doesn't mean you can't do anything about it. Here are a couple of ways to significantly reduce spam that won't cost you a cent.
Don't display your email address in newsgroup postings, chat rooms or in an online service's membership directory. Sometimes email spammers use them to harvest email addresses.
Another option is you can create two email addresses with one for personal messages and the other for public use, such as in newsgroups or chat rooms.
You can also create an account at a disposable email address service. You can then have those emails forwarded to your permanent email address. If the disposable address begins to receive spam, you can shut if off without affecting the permanent address.
You should also create a unique email address because email spammers often use dictionary attacks to sort through possible name combinations at some Internet Service Providers. A common name, like johndoe or thesmiths may get more spam than a unique name like fx721OMe9.
Check your email account to see if it provides a tool to filter out potential spam or a way to channel spam into a bulk email folder. When you're choosing which Internet Service Provider to use consider their email options.
You can decide to stop unwanted email spam altogether and all it takes is installing an Internet spam filter. Most are reasonably priced between $25 and $40 depending on where you get it.
Once you install an Internet spam filter you'll wonder why it took you so long because it takes all of the frustration out of email.
A good Internet spam filter will completely eliminate spam email and that lets you take back control of your Internet message Inbox. You'll have to find something else to get annoyed about because a good Internet spam filter will block 100% of unwanted spam.
Internet spam filters stop unwanted email forever, and after all, isn't that the idea?

SPYWARE DEFINITION LIST BY GREGG GRESHAM
The list of adware and spyware definitions runs very long. But these definitions listed below are some of the most common ones. This is a glossary of spyware facts and terms so you'll know what these malicious programs can do to your computer.
Adware
Adware components install along with a shareware or freeware download. The adware developer creates revenue advertisements usually through pop up windows. Most adware components are actually installed with consent from the user. The reason this happens is because most people never bother to read the end-user license agreement that comes with software.
Spyware
Spyware is often installed bundled with freeware or shareware, much like adware. Spyware gathers and transmits sensitive and personal information about the user's behavior to an unknown party. The data is collected without the user even knowing it happened. By the time you discover it, the damage has been done and the hacker is long gone.
Browser Hijackers
Browser hijackers are innocently installed as helpful browser toolbars. They can alter your browser settings and can change your default home page to point to another site.
Trojan Horse Programs
Trojan horse programs sneak into your system and run without you realizing it like spyware. Programmers use these programs for any number of malicious uses and none of them you would approve of. But one good thing is Trojan horse programs do not make copies of themselves.
Tracking cookies
Tracking cookies are files with small amounts of data like passwords and settings. Tracking cookies can provide a benefit to you especially if you revisit web sites. But in the wrong hands, cookies are used to track your Internet behavior. This is done without your knowledge or consent and provides marketers with private information about you.
Keyloggers
Keyloggers are programs that run silently in the background, recording all your keystrokes. Once the keystrokes are logged, they can be retrieved later by the hacker using a remote keyloggers program. The hacker can get your passwords, credit card numbers and any other personal information on your computer.
Malware
The definition of malware is any malicious software or program that will harm your computer. Computer viruses, worms and Trojans are all considered malware, but several other types of programs may also be included under the term.
Password Cracker
A password cracker is simply a program used to decrypt a password or password file. Security administrators use password crackers for legitimate use by using them to improve system security. But you can only imagine the dangers when a hacker gets a program like this.
There are many other spyware definitions including scumware, annoyanceware, parasites and the list continues to grow daily.
