Email protection

Email security

Email service is often abused because of its democratic nature. When user publishes email address as text on the website it takes only a few days for pharmaceutical, scam or other type of email spam to arrive. Spam email message usually contains viruses or spyware packed with good looking text. Very often spam message says “open the attached document” or “your account details are attached”.

It is very easy to protect yourself from spam and email viruses, simply:

• Do not open any email attachments from the people that you don't know.
• Do not send your personal information to anyone who you don't know. Popular email scam messages indicate you have won a lottery in order to steal your personal information.
• Use antivirus and antispyware software and it will automatically delete infected email messages.
• Install email filtering software that analyzes content of the message and filters if it fits unwanted email pattern.
