Module 8: Computer Abuses

What computer abuse would you like to eradicate? How would you do it?

The computer abuse I would like to eradicate is spamming. Spamming as defined in our lecture sometimes called unsolicited commercial email, is the internet version of junk mail. It is an attempt to deliver a message over the Internet to someone who would not otherwise choose to receive it. And in eradicating these spams I will use spam filter software.
Upon opening our emails we can see countless spam messages in our inbox. And we the receiver of spam loses countless hours manually deleting these intrusive messages from our inbox. And spam internet filter can solve this problem. Spam filter software is a program that is used to detect unsolicited and unwanted email and prevent those messages from getting to a user's inbox and can reduce the amount of junk mail being delivered.
Like other filtering programs, a spam filter looks for certain criteria. For example, using like that of Microsoft’s Hotmail the simplest version can be set to watch for particular words in the subject line of messages and to exclude these from the user’s inbox. And applying filtering is the best solution in minimizing spamming because the most valuable feature of spam filter software is reliably blocking and filtering spam. With a spam blocker in place, users can spend more time reading valid email instead of wasting time manually filtering unwanted email messages.
