\"\" It’s not uncommon to open your email and find a few, or maybe more than a few, unwanted emails.\u00a0 Spam has a way of infiltrating our accounts and can be a real problem.\u00a0 There are computer programs out there specifically designed to grab your email and randomly send messages to you. Typically these robot computers are sending you a link in hopes you’ll buy a product.\u00a0 One of the most popular online products that spammers are trying to sell these days is Viagra.<\/p>\n

A new study points out some alarming statistics.\u00a0\u00a0To sell $100 worth of Viagra, a spam provider needs to send 12.5 million messages.\u00a0\u00a0While\u00a0it takes millions of emails to get so little profit, spammers say it’s worth it, after all computers are doing all the work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"*Open a separate email account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Consider getting a “dummy” or “decoy” email account from a free email service (Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail are a few) to siphon off spam from your primary account. Use this “decoy” to sign up for mailing lists, shop online, or join social networking sites. This way, if the account gets too filled with spam, you can simply delete it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
