The Register presents figures from a Cisco report that say that 90% of all e-mails sent are spam. More than 200 billion spam e-mails are sent each day, says Cisco, clogging up the Internet and making your life miserable.
Interestingly, the US is the largest source of spam, with more than 17% of spam coming from that country, though this might be explained by botnets, networks of computers that have been taken over by malware and are controlled by spammers.
Cisco has a (rather boring) video on YouTube presenting their findings.
Naturally, you want to prevent spam from taking up your time, as much as possible. To keep your spam under control, you should use Intego Personal Antispam, the intelligent antispam program which learns from your spam and your valid e-mail to provide the best spam filtering for Mac.
