Spam.......?

What is it?
I dont want to do it as i know its bad but always wondered what it was.

As someone has said,at its basic,it is junk mail but many spam messages are sent out over the Internet by the hundreds of thousands and often contain coding to alert the sender that the mail has been opened and read therefore letting the spammer know that yours is a live address which will then be sold on to other spammers and so on,

Do not open them just delete the bloody things

Spam is when you post something totally pointless onto a topic. Like spamming is like saying 'Hi' when answering your question. That was an example.

Spam is, basically, Junk mail in electronic form. Credit card offers, chain letters, competition orders and any promotion you haven't signed up for basically counts as spam.

you know when you look through your mail and you get leaflets advertising things? spam is similiar but on your pc. just download a spamware and all will be good

like 4 example in msn sometimes peple will be like have u seen this picture its ridiculous? lol and it shows like a zipped up folder thats a spam because if you opened it it would mess up your computer.
