that floods Internet space with spam and malicious software has

Internet users fall victims of the unsolicited email messages that seem
harmless at first sight but may contain not only dubious promo offers but
also malicious software that collects personal information and passphrases
for credit cards. Moreover there are numerous websites that offer
supposedly free and advanced software for everyday usage but actually
infect one's computer with harmful viruses and worms that slow down the
performance of the whole system and may damage the machine as well.

characteristics of malware and distinguishes spam messages from regular
emails. Once sophisticated scripts come across anything that gets under the
complicated categorization of spam or malicious software, the system grabs
the detailed information related to the source of potential threat and
submits a report to the communities that are dedicated to effective
prevention of Internet traffic containment.

codes that are designed with an intention to steal personal data and credit
card information. On its own initiation EstDomains, Inc management has
launched several projects that are meant to fight spam and malware
distribution. Vast resources have been invested into elaboration of
advanced account monitoring systems, the application of well-built filters
