• Wasted time and productivity. Spam wastes workers' time and productivity. It takes time for an employee to sort out which emails he or she needs among all the sent ones where spam may make up at least 50 %. That distracts from performing work and decreases the general productivity therefore profits.
• Viruses and spyware. Some spam emails have attachments that if downloaded can infect your computer with a virus or spyware that gathers information on you and distributes it to someone else through Internet.
• Offensive and lecherous content. Spam exposes children to topics and images that include obscene language and adult content.
