We all hate spam. I hate it, too! I don't mind "commercial bulk email" that I have asked to receive, or that I expect to get when I give out my name and email address to download a freebie. This is just like you see here on this blog - you visit here, and you are offered a free PC Security 101 eBook, and at the same time you sign up for my newsletter, which will get you an occasional email from me talking about thinks like this.

Well, SPAM is a very different thing altogether. People confuse them a lot, and that's a shame. Because it's pretty clear what the differences really are. However, what really matters is how to stop it, right?

So how DO you stop SPAM?

The answer is actually very easy, and very difficult, all at the same time. Most SPAM comes from PCs that have been compromised by hackers, who then use those PCs to send out any number of different emails for their "clients" in a variety of ways. Many times, they even harvest your address book of email addresses to add to their spamming database, too.

Yes, that's right. One of the best ways they get YOUR email address is to swipe it out of your friend's address book. And, brace yourself, that means that they also get all your friend's email addresses out of YOUR address book...

...unless you are truly protected. But let's talk about that in just a second. Right now, let's consider that where the biggest problem lies. In an article at ComputerWorld, the "dirty dozen" top spamming countries are identified. This means that these are the countries with the highest populations of COMPROMISED computers that are sending out SPAM.

"Once a machine is compromised, it is often used to send out spam for a variety of campaigns," she said.

"In a matter of seconds, we can see compromised systems send messages on a dozen different topics from stock scams to diet drugs." Paul Ducklin, Sophos Asia Pacific head of technology, said that spammers are ready to "borrow" any computer illegally to send e-mail regardless of the location.

"The map shows activity almost everywhere people live; Africa may not yet be very well-wired, but it's certainly wired enough to be useful to the spammers," he said.
