WHAT IS EMAIL
ABUSE?
The use of electronic mail to advertise unethically, harass, annoy,
or cause harm to the email recipient. Abuse can take the form of bulk
email, SPAM, UCE, threatening e-mail, e-mail sent with the intent to slow productivity
of, or cause damage to, the recipient's computer system. It is a world wide problem
and anyone with an e-mail address is vulnerable. Don't let someone take over your PC or Mac.
EmailAbuse.org
is dedicated to informing users of this potential email abuse and providing
them with the tools to avoid becoming a victim and to fight back at Email
Abusers!
New section: Spam Filter Reviews.
We have tried to gather the most popular Anti-Spam and antivirus software options available. There is not one perfect spam killer or filtering option to provide us all with spam protection. Obviously it has become a cat and mouse game for the spammers and the rest of us. Some people prefer the server-side email filters which catch the spam before it gets to your mail box. Other people prefer software that you run on your home computer to help filter out the spam. Or some prefer a third-party system that utilizes the challenge system which makes anybody that emails you go to a special website and confirm they know you. This will help prevent more serious computer threats such as spyware and viruses, but the right id theft protection service will help keep your personal information confidential.
