AntiSpam Guide
Prevent Spams Today!

Disabling Windows Messenger Service
Pop up spammers are exploiting a feature of the Microsoft Windows operating systems known as Messenger Service. Despite the name, Windows Messenger Service doesn't have anything to do with instant messaging. It is designed to provide users on a local- or wide-area computer network with messages from the network administrator. For example, a company's network administrator might send a message to all its users that the company's network will be shutting down in five minutes. If your home computer is connected only to the Internet, you may not have any practical uses for Windows Messenger Service. If your computer is on a business or home network, however, shutting off Messenger Service might not be the best approach. Your network should be protected by a firewall. Disabling the messenger service will prevent the possibility of pop up spam.
Prevent Spams Today!
NEVER buy anything from a company that spams. Don't visit their sites or ask for more information. (If you respond to their spams, you're encouraging them to continue spamming -- they only need a tiny fraction of responses to be profitable.)
There's another reason not to buy anything from a company that spams: over 95% of spam offers are scams! In fact, not responding to spam is the single most effective way to not get scammed on the Internet.
Is sending spam illegal in Singapore?
Many of the activities associated with the more serious forms of spamming are already illegal in Singapore. For example, it is a criminal offence to engage in e-mail fraud or to obstruct the use of a computer through spamming. Sending spam that contains false or misleading advertising or product claims or that contains pornography is also unlawful. On the other hand, spamming per se is currently legal. To close this gap, the Singapore government is proposing to enact an anti-spam law. The proposed law will balance the interests of businesses seeking to advertise via e-mails legitimately and the interest of e-mail users not to be deluged by unwanted e-mail solicitations. It will also give ISPs, who are the main victims of spam, a right of legal recourse against spammers.
You Can Stop Spams
And with some of the larger service providers, selling accounts to spammer after spammer seemed to be good business to their management. A far better advertising deal for them and their users, than all those bundled post card decks put together. If it were not, a trivial mail filter placed in these service providers' mail gateways would have stopped all that outgoing spam mail long ago. Clearly with them, it is only the volume of our complaints that make a difference.
