If a mean person sends it to tons of people and then it causes viruses.....then boom your computer is dead. Your identity is also stolen!

Answer:

Spam is a popular term for unsolicited, commercial e-mail. To be considered spam, e-mail generally needs to come from a source with which you do not have a previous personal or business relationship and to promote some product or service. It does not have to be part of a mass mailing to be considered spam, nor does it typically have a malicious attachment.

How do you stop spam?

Most spam email contains links to unsubscribe from the emails. It may work but since most spam is sent to random email addresses ( that may or may not exist) clicking the unsubscribe link will more likely tell the spam sender that the address is real making your email address more valuable to them for resale. You can't stop spam from being sent. Much spam originates in countries not subject to American anti-spam regulations and no laws passed in this country can do anything about it. Spam can show up in your inbox, spam or junk folder or any other email folder depending on how email is configured and the quality of the spam detection software. If you know it is spam, DO NOT reply to the messages. If you open the email (you should not), do not click on any links. If they are not already in your spam or junk folder, flag them as spam if possible, and delete them.
