Just when you thought spam was a big enough problem for your PC, we start to hear about some real stories of spam hitting mobile devices - cellphones, pda's and mobile hybrid devices.It couldn't be happening at a worse time. Just when email enabled mobile devices are threatening to break into the mainstream, spammers are right on schedule, looking to take advantage of millions more connected

In our most recent article titled "Understanding Anti Spam Protection Techniques", we outline several different methods to help combat spam including daily handling of email right through to anti spam software. We even discuss methods of using different (even free) emails to signup for special offers, newsletters or other opt-in options online as these will often lead you down the path toward

Recent research demonstrates that spam has increase several hundred percent over the last few years. After struggling with the overwhelming amount of spam hitting us in our home business, it became obvious we needed to take action - we've decided to add much of our research and experiences over at Spam Blocker TipsEven more troubling is the increase in pornographic and financial (phishing) spam

What's your guess? Who receives more spam, men or women? My guess what that there was very little difference, but likely that men would receive more spam than women. My reasoning was simply that men are more active searching and subscribing, resulting in more opportunity for spammers to catch up with them.Turns out I was correct.

You've likely seen it online or on the news - the latest worm hitting networks called the Zotob virus has received a great deal of attention. Yet there is very little commentary on the vicious onslaught of spam that hundreds of thousands of infected PC's are spewing across networks.While there have certainly been spam blocker measures available to prevent incoming spam, there has been very

Where does all this spam come from?There seems to be no end to the parade of viagra, penis enlargement, pharmacy andfinancial commercial email - not to mention the tirade of phishing attacks that try and make you think you need to update personal information in order that someone can intercept your personal credentials.We discuss some of the latest trends, dangers and ways of dealing with spam on

Lets face it, in this age of shotgun marketing, commercial activity only exists and increases if it is successful. Spam has been around for years, is expanding rapidly and shows no signs of abating, so thats why we finally caved in and started looking for spam blocker solutions - spam blocking is simply a necessity in the new world of the internet. Now, I've always understood this basic

Its crazy - before the industry of email providers, ISP's and regulators can even decide on technical approaches to reducing spam (mainly focused on validating tha the sender of the mail is the authentic user of a particular IP address and email account), spammers take the lead and start using it themselves thereby quickly eradicating any usefulness of his approach.Folks, if you are putting your

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this article (its posted below for your interest).The argument goes that spamming people with health related emails will assist in overall health.Two issues with this conclusion.First, why use spam - why not use other methods of getting through to the population with your message, maybe this is one example where the government could use its billions in taxes

Recent news releases have demonstrated that the international community - including Korea and China, are becoming more aggressive against spam. Make no mistake, bringing spam under control does depend on a coherent, consistent and enforced international initiative.However, that said, international regulation and enforcement alone will not be enough. Anti spam measures such as personal behavior

It should be no surprise, given the increasing threat and annoyance of spam in our lives, but recent research from Datamonitor proves that demand for anti spam software is growing fast.Indeed, the very reason we started our information spam blocker software site was because we could no longer ignore the major dangers associated with spam.For example, in the recent article "Cyber Crooks Go

We've talked about it before over at our Block More Spam Site, spammers are becoming geniuses at getting you to open their messages.Social engineering is the latest technique they use to create the urge to click through on their spam messages.For example, today's attack on thousands of inboxes was a message that Michael Jackson had committed suicide - when in fact this was just a hoax to get you

We've seen this coming, and now that hackers are mixing malicious code with spam, we have to start looking at spam as much more than just an annoyance, but as something that could pose extreme danger to our home and business networks.In a bid to massively increase infection and impact of malicious viruses and worms, hackers are teaming with spammers to get the initial trojan or code to a much

In this day and age, who the heck needs more stress.A recent survey completed by Symantec in Canada demonstrates that 22% of computer users found spam stressful.Now, lets look into the future a little.We are on the edge of moving toward internet on TV, mobile access to the internet and unprecedented access to email anywhere antime - assuming that spam continues toincrease, your stress level can

Perhaps this is the scariest trend of all - mixing current events, emotional issues, high profile stories in with spam creates one of the most compelling reasons to seek out effective spam blocker technologies.Here's a recent example, yesterday a malicious email duped over 1 Million users into clicking on a malicious link in spam emails - the text and topic - the capture of Bin Laden.

Bloggers are finding that they too need to look at spam blocker solutions - especially those using Typepad or Moveable Type blogging software. I myself have have used Moveable Type for a few different blogs and have been hit with hundreds of comment and traceback spam messages - so much so, I had to just turn the whole thing off.What we are figuring out is that spammers will stop at nothing to

A new story regarding the dangers of spam come out each and every day,yet I saw one today that does not directly mention spam, but certainlyis dangerous and could easily be triggered by spam - another reasonto check out the anti-spam resource we are buildingAccording to this news story, trojan code being added to basic ads, images, and video clips are causing serious issues by infecting machines

Until recently, spam has been an annoyance, a definite load on your email system and network, a waste of productivetime and money, but we are about to find that the cost couldget much higher.Spam blockers are now becoming a necessity rather than an optional email utility, the reason is that spam is becomingmuch more dangerous.Now, just like you, I looked into spam blocker software mainlybecause I
