The development of internet technology has also led to the development of unwanted advertising. Spam not only wastes your internet traffic, but it can contain malware that infects computers.
Instructions
Step 1
To block spam e-mail, you need to install a filter. These are programs that download the headers of your emails, check against their databases, but do not download the emails themselves. For example, the Spam Blocker program. They check the sender's IP address and the subject of the message, if the program recognizes the message as spam, then it deletes it. The program can work with several e-mails at once, but it is also possible to configure it for each account separately.
Step 2
To minimize spam in your email, create white and black lists. This will eliminate spam, and the necessary messages placed on the "white" list will not be checked by the filter. To create a "black" list, click on the recipient whose messages you want to block and select "do not receive messages." To create a "white" list, click on the message on the messages of the recipient whose messages you will always check, and select " do not check for spam."
Step 3
It is also necessary to block spam when receiving ICQ messages. Go to ICQ settings and enable the anti-spam bot program. Indicate the security question that will need to be answered in order to write you messages.
Step 4
Spam can also go to a mobile phone. The negative consequences of this are the withdrawal of a large amount of money from the account, infection of the phone and loss of data. In the settings of your cell phone, select the blacklist function and add the phone number from which you received the message.
