Spam-Proof Your Email Address With No-Cost Solutions
First Book to Help Internet Users Combat Spam Epidemic
SEATTLE, WA – October 20, 2003 – "Spam-Proof Your E-mail Address" is now available to help Internet users eliminate about 97 percent of the spam that would ordinarily clog their e-mail boxes. Best-selling author Brian Livingston describes little-known and cost-free techniques in his 27-page e-book to help users of Windows, Macintosh, and Linux to control who gets their e-mail address and to keep it off spammers’ lists.
Based on recent U.S. government and private non-profit studies, the book describes how spammers obtain your e-mail address and how you can take steps to avoid being added to their lists. Today spam has surpassed legitimate e-mail that now makes up the majority of all messages passing through the Internet. According to experts, spam is quadrupling or quintupling every 12 months.
This book provides simple step-by-step solutions that users can take to protect their e-mail address. No tricky anti-spam filters or hard-to-maintain block lists are required. However, such techniques can be used in addition with the steps described in this book, which can be downloaded at http://www.BriansBuzz.com/spamproof/.
"I’ve spent months researching and testing the best ways people can keep spammers from grabbing their e-mail addresses," says Livingston. "These techniques really work, and I now have several addresses that receive less than one spam message a month."
Brian Livingston is co-author of Windows 2000 Secrets, Windows Me Secrets and eight other books. Windows Me Secrets quickly became IDG Books’ No. 1 best-selling book at Amazon.com – with more than 1500 pages of undocumented features and tricks, the book is a treasure chest about Windows Me and covers the features of Windows 98 and 95, as well.
