You may find that your AVG Anti-Spam isn’t catching some of your SPAM Emails. There are two different ways to catch SPAM emails. The below tutorial will show you both ways, starting off with HAM. HAM training of Anti-Spam teaches AVG what emails you want. The other method is SPAM training, this teaches AVG which emails you don’t want. Both methods are pretty straightforward and we highly recommend you teach AVG to do it in both ways. You may have to do this a few times but AVG catches on pretty quick!

Quick Tip: Stopping Spam
January 11th, 2008
Spam is a huge problem for everyone and while we will never get rid of all of it there are little things that help! So here are a few:
- Never Respond to Spam, this tells the sender that your address is active.
- Block Images: Spammers can tell if an image was displayed in an email so if possible turn off image display on your email client for suspect messages.
- Don’t forward chain letters – it is just a way of collecting email addresses. For more information on this read here.
- Don’t click links – much like the images, if you click the links it tells the spammer your address is active.
- Never respond to an email requesting information – if a company like ebay or your bank requests for you to confirm your details then it is most probably a hoax. But if you want to be 100% sure then log-in to the respective site in your normal way (going direct to the site!) and then see if you have a message from them.
Well there we go, my top 5 quick tips on stopping or avoiding spam. I hope it helps
