Probably, every user at some time encounters a problem, the name of which is "Spam". Every day, millions of letters are sent by spammers, who provide users with information they know they don't need. In addition, many scammers use spam to carry out their dirty deeds. And for offices, spam has become a kind of traffic “eater”. About 80% of all emails sent to the office mail are spam. This is what the statistics say. Is it possible to fight this scourge? And if so, how? Read on.
Instructions
Step 1
Every year, many programs are created that protect user information by filtering out rootkits, malware (malware), spam, and other unwanted elements. Trend Micro is an example of such programs.
Step 2
There is also a hardware and software suite called Mailgate, which is a web interface that sorts messages, provides full-text search, filters incoming mail, and collects it from other servers. Having an impressive database of spam addresses in stock, this complex blocks spam "from the user".
Step 3
By the way, all antispam products are divided into three types. These are programs, utilities and software packages that:
Process incoming mail that comes directly to the mailbox;
Process incoming mail from the server;
They process incoming mail “on the doorstep”, first passing it through their own services.
Step 4
There is also a service called "Spamorez". It helps protect your PC from spam, DDOS attacks and viruses.
Step 5
Antispam Post functions differently. It doesn't need to be installed on your PC. You will only pay a small monthly fee, and the service will check all your emails for viruses, spam, spyware, rootkits and more.
Step 6
Of course, you cannot check letters for viruses with your own hands. But on the other hand, you can minimize the threat of spam. Here are some tips:
Try not to publish your coordinates on social networks and postal addresses on public resources. Why? They can be easily detected by special harvester programs that spammers like to use;
Install an anti-virus on your computer and ensure that the anti-virus databases are updated periodically. This is necessary in order to protect your computer from viruses, as well as such programs that penetrate the user's mail and copy all his mail contacts;
Company directors: Protect client databases carefully. There are times when one unscrupulous employee simply takes and sells databases “to the left”. And this is bad for your reputation, as well as the reputation of the entire company.
