Spamming – sending of undesired advertising

By Alina Scherz

The word Spam comes from a cheap canned meat from the USA and it means the sending of undesired advertising. You often get Spam per E-Mail or by SMS. They find out your E-Mail address because you have to state your E-Mail address, if you want to take part in a forum or if you create an own home page. There are also Spam filters, but you always get some undesired advertising. There is also undesirable advertising in the internet which is called “pop-up”. A good internet program gives you a possibility to block the “pop-ups”.
