Reduce Your Vulnerability

Spam
Unwanted mass emails continue to plague just about everyone, even though the Can-Spam Act was passed by Congress. We have two suggestions:
  1. Establish more than one email address. There are many free email services available. Use those email services for sites and services that you are unfamiliar with and for signing up for things like newsletters. Then establish a personal email address that is only given to people and companies that you trust one hundred percent, like a family member.
  2. Buy spam proctection software.

Below is a list of industry standard spam protection products.
