Those are some useful steps that you have mentioned to avoid spywares and Anti Virus. I have had to reformat my system many a times because of viruses that keep creeping in from time to time.

I\’ve never though tabout it quite that way before – thanks for the well thought out post.

Any waste of energy is a loss to the environment.

Is there a solution to this problem? How interesting that someone calculated the carbon footprint of spam. How about calculating it for all the junk mail we get in our regular mailboxes? That would no doubt be staggering!

This one of the major problem faced by all computer users. We lots and lots of spam emails everyday. Its very shocking to heare that 33bn kilowatt-hours of energy is spent each year to produce spam emails

Great blog post about spam emails it is indeed a great job to post such a useful information.I sincerely thank you

sure it will kill the environment because when ever we do bad things for the environment so reaction also will be there so i do believe that because for every action and reaction will be also there in this nature becasue i am the spiritual kind of person so i can believe many things.

WoW! This is good tutorial for the people who want to save their computers! Nice i’ll start to using this guide

I agree completely to the increasing number of spam mails but the stats shown here are staggering. I never knew that much trouble spam causes. We should try and obey the rules stated above to keep our environment spam free.

I am shocked to hear that this much of spamming is done daily.Got these mails daily but never thought they could be so dangerous.Thanks for suggesting steps for preventing spam.I will follow these as soon as possible.Thanks again!!

Great information!! I did not know spam emails were hazardous to the environment. I have heard about \"bot\" before but did not know what it was. I run a virus scan daily, but dont know how to avoid the spam emails. Thanks for the info.

Wow! I had never thought that spam mails take away energy from the environment. Thank you for the tips on how I can keep my computer safe. I don’t have much knowledge about computer technology. That’s why I’m very appreciative of this post. I will read your blog from time to time. Thanks again.

This is the new information I heard about the spam mails.Even though there are lot of ways to stop the spam mail, I was unable to get the full detailed information to stop only particular mails leaving the other. But it should be stopped before they exploit the nature.

The steps suggested for dealing with spam are easy to follow and effective. Thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. More people need to become aware of the environmental consequences of spam.

Wow, an eye opener, I really didn’t had this much knowledge about it.Many thanks for your informative blog post.

This is crazy! All that energy for me to click “delete” every time I get it? I think that the government should seriously put a restriction on this type of thing if it’s using that much energy! I never would’ve guessed that! Thanks for the info, it was enlightening.

Thank you for this! Useless spam being a useless drain on the environment is a good point. I always wonder how they “stay in business”, so to speak, with all of the knowledge out there on what a bunch of junk it is. Some people must still be getting duped, but it’s a needless waste of time, effort, and energy anyway you slice it. The people who create spam have serious problems!

wow that is very intersting….. you make a great point!

I never gave much thought to how much energy was wasted via spam. However, I do think that it is important to both production (persons) and the environment to get a handle on this situation as it is out of control presently.

This is really an eye opener. I think a lot of people like me think that just because spam is not on paper it does not cost anything. Thank you for sharing this information and ways we can reduce this problem.

Great tips, I definitely will take your advice to run virus scans a few times a week. There are so many email scams these days it’s ridiculous! Just last week I got one of those nigerian email scams giving me a fake sob story and asking me for money. Don’t Fall For It!

Thank you for this blog! I hate HATE spam e-mail and now that I know what waste of energy it is I hate it even more. I will definetly follow your tips to safeguard my computer and let everyone I know what they can do to stop SPAM.

This is a stunning report. It is very important that we protect our machines from the malware and viruses. Using proper anti-virus softwares can help a lot. But if they are not regularly updated, they do not help a lot

I saw a report on TV recently in which they spoke abt how we polute the air everytime we google something!!
Spaming and hacking are done by ppl who have no concern for other peoples privacy, and ofcourse we r the ones who need to take precautions against falling prey to them!
I liked your article n the pointers on how to prvent spam…coz though many of the points you mentioned are very basic , many of us skip them coz we r lazy or procrastinate!

The Carbon Footprint of Email Spam Report was actually sponsored by McAffee (a Virus/Spam Filtering software company) so it’s hard to actual trust it. One argument is that the time spent deleting your spam is time that you would be spending on your computer anyway which I feel is a valid point (very few people go through the trouble of powering up their computers to just spend a couple minutes checking their e-mail).

Nevertheless, I hate spam and it’s a waste of time.

It is really astonishing that the spams also cause damage to the environment. You have represented the figures so nicely that anyone who reads this article would start thinking that the spammers are causing great problems for environment. However, I feel that the problem is not so easy to solve as the spammers are increasing day by day and due to free email services, it is easy for them to keep spamming without spending much from their own pocket.

Really this is very useful for all internet users. Nowadays, all the email users are facing the problem of spam. Spam mails are really troubling the email users. This gives useful tips, how to avoid spam.

This is a good and useful information about spam e-mails. I also got some Spam mails that you got a job. I thought it was real and replied to it, i got some reply that you should send your passport through post to get the job. So each and every one should be careful about these spam mails. Thanks for this information, with this i knew some information about spam e-mails.

I realize it’s a difficult undertaking but I feel there should be more done to stop spam at the source. This is a huge invasion of privacy, but if it keeps people away from porn, I guess there’s an upside!

Spam is a major problem in the world of the web. The steps given were very helpful, I have tried a few and they work beautifully. I get alot of spam mail and absolutely hate it, I stopped looking at it and now just delete everything.
