With several billion spam messages sent every day, the threat of email viruses is still very much a concern for businesses. In fact, if a business were to receive an email virus, the problems it could cause can be very serious. Data could be lost, operations brought to a halt and whole servers can be damaged to name just a few of these problems.
Businesses need to ensure they guard themselves against spam and email viruses. However, email is seen as one of the most convenient and cheapest forms of communication, and is heavily relied upon as a major part of its everyday operations.

Most people use some kind of basic spam filter on their email, and any spam that does get through this filter is normally ignored and deleted by a person who is used to using the Internet regularly. For those people who are not used to the Internet, opening up a spam email by mistake thinking it is legitimate could lead to dire consequences.
There are various forms of spam, but the most common form of spam is junk email spam.
The majority of spam emails that are received cover a range of topics, such as ‘get rich quick’ emails, gambling emails or sexual emails containing offers of Viagra. However, recently more spam emails have been requesting sensitive information such as bank account details.
Some of the spam junk emails that request private information from an individual can look quite legitimate. Often they appear to have been sent by a bank, eBay or even PayPal. These types of emails are known as “phishing” emails, because they are fishing for your login details.
If there is any doubt at all about the legitimacy of the email source then it is essential the link contained within the email is not clicked upon, as if it is spam, it will direct a person to an external website which is set up to capture critical information for fraudulent reasons.
We at MessageStream are experts in the provision of spam blocker and spam services, eliminating 98% of spam before it reaches an email inbox. We are trusted by the UK’s largest companies, along with government authorities and police departments, to protect against spam violation.

Whilst we all understand the basics of spam and junk emails in that it is the unsolicited targeting of unwanted emails finding their way into our email inboxes, we don’t all know how truly devastating it can be.
Spam is considered a daily irritant as a regular email and internet user, and even though any person in their right mind will have employed some kind of spam blocker, it can still filter through even to a minor degree.
There are more and more methods being employed by hackers to get junk emails to penetrate email accounts and inboxes, searching for private information such as banking details to gain access to internet accounts. Not only this, but it is the quickest way to spread a virus from one computer to the next.
Spam email really is serious business, and should be treated as such.
Any spam filter software that you use has to be kept up-to-date because hackers and other types of online criminals are constantly finding new ways around spam blocker technology. Thankfully, the protection we use such as a spam filter, will usually keep us one step ahead as long as we remember to update it as soon as your computer requests you to update it.
We at Message Stream specialise in optimal levels of spam service which sees large corporations, governments SMEs and criminal departments receive the highest protection from blocking 98% of unsolicited emails ever reaching a company’s server.
