Ninety two per cent of all email is SPAM

It has been found that ninety two per cent of all email is now Spam according to research carried out by the computer security firm McAfee, which has claimed that the growth of Spam in the past three months is cause for concern.

During the month of June, it was found that the highest amount of Spam ever seen was being sent.

In fact the amount of Spam sent beat the previous highest month, which was October 2008, by over twenty per cent.

This increase in Spam is believed to be because of the huge amount of computers being recruited as zombie computers.

These are computers that have been infected with a virus and can be used to churn out Spam at an alarming rate.

It is estimated that around 150,000 computer are hijacked every day!
