People are talking about 'Canning Spam'
--Joe Kraynak, author of dozens of best-selling books including The Complete Idiot's Guide to Computer Basics, Que's Internet Yellow Pages, and Best of the Internet says:
"Sinister spammers are determined to pack our email boxes with unsolicited advertising, steal our identities, and expose our systems to harmful computer code. In 'Canning Spam,' Jeremy Poteet reveals the inside information, tips, and tricks that every user needs for self-defense. Don't read or send another email message until youÕve read this book!"
--Marc Saltzman, syndicated consumer tech journalist and author says:
"'Canning Spam' is an invaluable resource for those who suffer from one of the most -- if not the most -- annoying and debilitating misuses of the Internet. With this book, readers will become educated on the many faces of spam, how it works, and most importantly, what to do to rid your PC of it."
--Preston Gralla, author of 30 books, including How the Internet Works, and columnist for Ziff-Davis
"Spam is the worst thing about using the Internet -- if you're like me, you almost dread looking in your inbox every morning, knowing that you'll be besieged by come-ons, scams, and offers to enlarge certain private body parts. 'Canning Spam' will help you take back your inbox. It offers real-world, hands-on advice that will not only clean out your inbox, but help keep you off spam lists. And its in-depth explanations of how spam is created and how you can stop it will help you figure out spam-fighting techniques on your own. Buy this book and get back your inbox."
--Peter Coffee, Technology Editor, eWEEK says:
"Unwanted email wastes users' time and employers' money by exploiting both human and technical weakness. 'Canning Spam' combines plain-English descriptions of technical attacks with real-world examples of how and why they work, even when users think they know enough to avoid becoming victims. Until we get to the point that books like this aren't needed, this is one worth recommending to many email users and to every email administrator."
We've all seen it Ñ the e-mails that come to us from a sender we don't know and promise a frog that jumps across our screen, a low mortgage rate or a medical miracle pill.
