Consequences of inadvertently downloading such software into your computer can be deadly — as previously described in Lecture 30. • In addition to the dangerous spam that may try to steal information from your computer or turn it into a spambot for spreading even more spam, there is also another kind of spam these days: This consists of email generated by legitimate businesses and organizations that you either have no interest in reading or have no time for following up on. [For example, half of my spam consists of unsolicited messages sent to me by marketing companies, public relations houses, government agencies, university departments advertising their activities, and students in various parts of the world seeking to come to Purdue. Even just opening all of these messages would consume a significant portion of each day. ] • I am
