Spam is the electronic distribution of all kinds of advertising to people who have not given their consent to receive it. Spammers are constantly spreading a large number of advertising messages and profiting from the people who respond to them. Any user can independently protect themselves from spam, for this you need to follow a few very simple but effective rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a strong password. It should not be too short and consist of only numbers or symbols that are in the same row. Type Russian words in the English layout. Remember that spammers construct possible addresses using obvious names, words and numbers, so do not use your first and last name in the address. Get serious about this problem, pick up an email address that is hard to guess.
Step 2
It is best to use two email addresses at the same time. Use one of them for personal correspondence, and the other for registration in forums, chats and other public services and sites.
Step 3
Try not to leave your email address on servers of different origins. Think about where you may need them and where you can do without them.
Step 4
Be very careful about the files that come to you by mail. Never reply to spam emails. Try not to follow the various links that offer you to get rid of the mailing list. By doing this, you can confirm that your email address is actively used, then spammers will continue to include it in their mailings. One of the important ways to combat spam is to ignore it.
Step 5
Before clicking on something on an unfamiliar site, carefully read what you are offered to do. If you are asked to install a program or update, do not agree. If you receive a message from your browser stating that the content on the page is unsafe, exit immediately. Don't ignore warnings.
Step 6
Do not make dubious acquaintances on the Internet, as some individuals, having learned your address, can subscribe to all kinds of mailings.
Step 7
Install an antispam solution on your computer and set up mailboxes with those providers who provide protection for their subscribers from spam.
