How can I stop spam ?
Let your family and friends know that you do not share your private email address. Make sure that your email address is hard to guess, the easier to remember or easier to guess the easier it will be for someone to guess also. Change you email address often and if you have been comprimised then change it even sooner after you have cleared your computer of keyloggers and inside proxy tools.
Keep your anti-virus application or software active and check for updates, most anti-virus software will automatically check for updates make sure that it is scheduled. Your connection to the internet is monitored by this
application and stops any viruses or infected downloads including with some applications emails. Some viruses will create a small program on your computer and send out emails or information about your computer firewalls that are included in the anti-virus software need to be turned on to stop both unauthorized incoming and outgoing information.
Get an additional email account to give out to anyone that you don’t know personally. Keep your personal email address away from the internet accounts where you get solititations from the internet or businesses that you deal with. It helps to sort out the emails and who sent them some emails are phoney and they might have a valid email address showing but the link might be different from whats actually showing. TCS WEB HOSTING & DESIGN can help you setup additional email accounts on one of our protected servers.
Do not put your email address on any websites also other people who are able ot access the website and run a spider to get all the email addresses and private information. Do not reply to email that aren’t requested by you or your friends.
Avoid posting your personal email address or any account information regarding your private email account. Companies use special programs to scan chat and social networks to gleem email addresses and telephone numbers from the content including chats and social networks like twitter myspace and facebook. If you need to leave an address either create a new email address or create an email address that someone has to manually write down rather than scanning like “name at myaddress”. also you could swap out characters that resemble with numbers so that someone would again have to read rather than cut and paste.
check for suspicious email addresses or if any of the information on the email header looks weird then delete the message. and do not open. If you have a email program like outlook or outlook express where you can turn on the preview option on or off when messages come in, turn the preview option off. if you leave it on its just like opening the email as they come in and will trigger any scripts or executables.
