Welcome to DeleteMySpam.com, your number one resource for Anti-Spam News and Reviews. Here, you will get all the latest information on spam and ways to fight it so that you may keep your inbox virtually spam free.

The first thing we need to establish is an understanding of what Spam is. Not to be confused with SPAM:

SPAM is basically some pork in a can prouced by Hormel. I must say, in hard times, it makes a mean sandwitch. Throw some lettuce and tomatoes on there and you’ve got breakfast in five minutes.

Spam, on the other hand is what is plaguing our inboxes on a day to day basis. “Spamming is the use of any electronic communications medium to send unsolicited messages in bulk, indiscriminately — unlike sending to a selected group in normal marketing.”

Who can spam you? Can your friends spam you? Of course they can. All those forwarded messages asking you to forward the email to 20 people so that you have a happy marriage, they find a cure for cancer, or some other insane promise is considered as spam. You did not request it, and it came to your inbox, itÂs spam. Though annoying, these sorts of emails are more tolerable than what were are about to discuss.

The real enemy is spam send in bulk by companies or individuals for commercial advertising. This is what, we here at DeleteMySpam.com, are trying so hard to fight. Gone are the days when you could open up Outlook and set up an anti spam filter to filter out email messages which contain: “xxx, sex, make money, fast money, fa$ t buck, $ $ $ , paris hilton, carmen electra, etc”. Spammers have gotten a lot more talented in their spamming. These days, spam rarely contains text. Instead a lot of spam comes simply with embedded images and a link. In addition to being annoying, these sorts of spam email messages can also be quite dangerous. Some emails may contain spyware and/or trojan viruses which could damage your computer system or divulge personal information. Recently, there has been a new trend called phishing, where a spammer would send an email posing as a company the reader may be familiar with, like a bank, Paypal, or Ebay. They would then ask the read to reply to the message or visit some website where they would be asked to enter personal information like account numbers and passwords.

Stopping spam is a huge task, but it is one we are dedicated to.
