Spam

Normally, no

However, as with anything on the internet it is possible that if you attempt to obtain the data files from a 3rd party rather than its original source, than a virus may have been added later

The original source is also of course at risk of being hacked; although the likelihood seems remote

If you have any fears regarding the safety of software or internet browsing, I recommend finding a reputable antivirus program, there are many and some of them are free

change password, change security question, change back-up email address.

spam means email that keeps coming to you, that you dont approve of or want.

From mailing lists. Spammers regularily attempt to get the lists of subscribers to mailing lists [some mail servers will give those upon request], knowing that the email addresses are unmunged and that only a few of the addresses are invalid. When mail servers are configured to refuse such requests, another trick might be used - spammers might send an email to the mailing list with the headers Return-Receipt-To: <email address> or X-Confirm-Reading-To: <email address>. Those headers would cause some mail transfer agents and reading programs to send email back to the <email address> saying that the email was delivered to / read at a given email address, divulging it to spammers. A different technique used by spammers is to request a mailing lists server to give him the list of all mailing lists it carries (an option implemented by some mailing list servers for the convenience of legitimate users), and then send the spam to the mailing list's address, leaving the server to do the hard work of forwarding a copy to each subscribed email address. [I know spammers use this trick from bad experience - some spammer used this trick on the list server of the company for which I work, easily covering most of the employees, including employees working well under a month and whose email addresses would be hard to find in other ways.]

From web pages. Spammers have programs which spider through web pages, looking for email addresses, e.g. email addresses contained in mailto: HTML tags [those you can click on and get a mail window opened] Some spammers even target their mail based on web pages. I've discovered a web page of mine appeared in Yahoo as some spammer harvested email addresses from each new page appearing in Yahoo and sent me a spam regarding that web page. A widely used technique to fight this technique is the 'poison' CGI script. The script creates a page with several bogus email addresses and a link to itself. Spammers' software visiting the page would harvest the bogus email addresses and follow up the link, entering an infinite loop polluting their lists with bogus email addresses.

From various web and paper forms. Some sites request various details via forms, e.g. guest books & registrations forms. Spammers can get email addresses from those either because the form becomes available on the world wide web, or because the site sells / gives the emails list to others. Some companies would sell / give email lists filled in on paper forms, e.g. organizers of conventions would make a list of participants' email addresses, and sell it when it's no longer needed. Some spammers would actually type E-mail addresses from printed material, e.g. professional directories & conference proceedings. Domain name registration forms are a favourite as well - addresses are most usually correct and updated, and people read the emails sent to them expecting important messages.

yeah

The artwork is not authentic. Chagall's, Picasso's, Dali's are some of the biggest scams and print forgeries around (I'm in the art business) and the internet is flooded with artwork that is no more valuable than a photocopy. I've noticed the shipping fees more than cover the price of the item (with a profit) as well as shipping. This site has nothing to do with government or state seized property...they even say so although their logo and name leads you to believe something else.

Scam

Cell-phone spam still trails computer spam, with the typical cell-phone user receiving at most a few spam text messages per year rather than the thousands that may bombard their computer-based e-mail accounts. But in some ways, cell spam is more annoying. It can cause your phone to ring or vibrate at inopportune times and possibly cost you money-typically 10 to 25 cents per message if you don't have a text-messaging plan.

Spam is difficult to eradicate because it is not always easy to determine what data is wanted and what data is not. Spam can look like a perfectly legal advertisement. There are many types of spam filters, but of course not all spam can be caught. It can pass through, the same way you get spam in your regular mailbox.

yeah

Btinternet is affiliated with reducing the amount of junk mail. You can also still perform searches regularly like you would, but the results will be in less spam.

A scam simply means that someone is decieving you for his or her own good, in other words it means that people are tricking you for what you have. Spam is a repetitive post or say if someome was sending you a ton of mail in a very short amount of time, that is an example of spam.

They are a nuisance, and also it targets the vulnerablity of children/old people/people not that aquatinted with the internet. Also they can sometimes hold virused attachments, these can contain programs used to steal bank details, passwords etc.

You are supposed to eat Spam, not rub it on your emails. Scrub

Spam refers to electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines spam as unsolicited usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses.

Well it's the same reason why people write books, to entertain, inform, and persuade!!

You have to register at Vizzed.com, click I agree, then send a user and email and check your email. If it's not in your inbox, it may be in the spam folder.

Anti spam software protects agains computer threats. This could cover anything from a virus to a potential hacker attempting to do damage to your computer.

There are quite a few top-rated spam blockers. the top two are Barracuda web filter and Spamtitan. However, if you are using Gmail, the spam filters are so advanced that a separate spam blocking program isn't necessary in most cases.

You really shouldn't need to purchase a separate spam blocker. All legitimate, popular e-mail clients now have their own spam blockers built in. If you are getting spam to your inbox, be sure to mark each piece "as spam" and the spam blocker will eventually filter out all similar pieces of mail.

Yes it has a very effective spam filter. It helps keep spam out of your emails. The filter is very easy to use and work with. It is easy to tweak settings to keep spam away if you have trouble with it.

Your email should provide you with a spam filter already. It is easy to indicate which email is spam to the email provider which will flag the spam sender. The email provider will then block all emails from that sender and send it to the spam folder, which you can open and review and delete the content.
