Spam has got to be one of the most annoying things on the
Internet today. I remember when pop-ups first came on the scene,
every website I went to was inundated with tons of pop-ups, I
hated them, and I'm sure I wasn't alone. Spam flooded the
Internet with so many copies of the same messages, it's a very
shameful attempt to force the message on people who would not
otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial
advertising of get-rich-quick schemes, or products for younger
looking skin. There are basically two types of spam and they
affect Internet users differently. Cancelable Usenet spam is a
single message sent to many Usenet spam is aimed at people who
read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their address
away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups by
overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other
irrelevant posts. Email spam is another type of spam that
targets individual users with direct mail messages. Email spam
lists are usually created by scanning Usenet postings and
stealing Internet mailing lists, or searching for Web addresses.
What ever IT is, it's not wanted and thank goodness there are
plenty of websites were they will allow you to download free
spam blockers.
Internet spam filters are a good way to block those pesky spam
pop-ups, in fact, without them, there really is no way to get
from website to website without Internet spam filters today.

of all incoming spam. There are Plugins that can be installed on
your computer that will increase your Internet spam filters to

you were online. This way, you can restore false-positives or
add the senders to your friends or block them completely. You
