what is spamming?

Answer 1

Spamming is what people are doing when they send out SPAM.

Spam is unsolicited e-mail, usually to sell a service or product. The intent is to advertise your business. But SPAM also can contain threats to your computer. Viruses, SpyWare, Phishing and other attempts to hurt you or your computer.

If you use an email service that has a REPORT SPAM feature, you should use it faithfully on all SPAMs. While you might only get 10 or 20 SPAM messages per day, many businesses have to deal with thousands per day. When you use the REPORT SPAM feature, you help everyone get rid of this threat by helping to make the SPAM filters work better.

Try not to report one of your friends as SPAM. If you do not want e-mail from them, simple ask them politely to STOP.

Good Luck

Spamming is uninvited(in your email, pop ups, or messenger) commercials or any attempt to learn your id or email address for commercial use for their benefit.

Spamming (example) when you open your messenger and someone suggests a site for you to go to for their personal gain. Example porn bots who show up in chat rooms and on messenger and use these two to locate valid email and messenger ids are spamming. It' basicall loading or putting commercials on your computer for their benefit.
When you see an email with a name and the subject says "hi" with your name, and you open it to find out it's a commercial, or it gives you a site to visit that is also spamming.

This is spamming and the software can send out millions of random emails, messengers a day. So many that most will get though and this gives them not only the 1 to 10 cents each clik on their message or visit to their site , but also a valid email or messenger Id they can sell to other spammers.
