"Junk mail... viruses... spam... gibberish... pop-up... bad website... hacker!"

We've all dealt with the things above. It seems I also had this problem, but today i am going to tell you how to block the fools of the world that send Spam. Of course you are able to recognize if the mail is "spam." The latest engines like Yahoo, Comcast, Gmail and many more have a spam folder. This will divide up which mail is clean and securely connected, and which of the mail is mutilated or unclean. Opening emails can be very serious to the point where you can have a "virus" enter though spam and junk mail. Some mails carry Trojan viruses and many other that can effect your computer performance, and can even expose your computer information by hacking into passwords and messing up functions and processes with .exe applications. A computer runs on .exe and many others though MS DOS and the Registry Editor on your computer. Any of these files missing, the news will not be good for the next few hours of your PC experience.

Then again some spam email can be gibberish, or just other websites showing you offers and new deals. The same old stuff that you receive on telephone calls and on the T.V. daily, which these are called "advertisements." The world revolves around advertisement and business. If not that, it just may be a glitch from someone unknown on the Internet, sending the email from a low-signal location. Or just a normal email that is stated spam but really the message you were too receive. Just like on my Yahoo account on email, I do receive many emails form colleges and schools that want me even that I am 16 now. So this means I see the mail and open it, but it is marked as spam. I have been hearing of reports that some spam messages have add-ons or attachments with them. If the email states, "congratulations" or "Merry Christmas" for example, and with the email there is an attachment, I advise you to avoid these because it could bring serious harm to your computer.

Exposing the information on your computer to the world-wide web is vital and dangerous. if you have any serial numbers of products used, or billing information, expensive software, codes, passwords, accounts and many others, the result of hackers knowing this is a real bad thing. I cannot describe in any other way how bad spam can be and the dangerous results it could bring, i really implore you all to be careful what you open. Do not think too fast and think it's... "okay, nothing will happen to my computer." That could result in the serious situation of a broken PC and a give-away to all your information, like a gift to the hackers and the spammers of this generation. Also, believe me, by the year technology advances, and every time that happens, the hackers smile more because they have a better chance with their "equipment" to ruin your computer and possibly your life.
