The direct reason is that the quote comes from a Monty Python comedy skit/song.\n\nThe underlying reason is that "nobody" likes the taste of Spam, but I find this silly.\n\nI love the taste of Spam and also the new Turkey Spam that was introduced several years ago.\n\nWhile pork/ham are hardly a staple for me, turkey and chicken are foods I eat almost every day.\n\nSpam, in both flavors, is convenient to prepare in modern households - since it quickly warms up in the microwave.\n\nWhen you want a sandwich, reach for lunch meat.  When you want a hot meal:  Spam!\n\nSpeaking of Spam, I am getting deluged by "phone spam" this weekend.\n\nI have received 10-15 phone calls from these "auto dialer" things, and two of the politicians have sent me their message TWICE.\n\nThat is a little over-doing it.\n\nSpam has been linked to Terrorist & Criminal activities.\n\nEmail spammers are legally protected in the United States by a bill passed by the 103rd US Congress.  It was then signed into law by George Bush junior.  The bill was called "CAN-SPAM".  \n\nThis CAN-SPAM act of 2003 prevents victims of spam from suing any spammers.\n\nIt only allows ISPs - such as Microsoft (MSN), Earthlink, various telcos, etc. - to sue.\n\nThe "fees" they collect serve as a source of revenue to them when people send you spam.  They get enriched by the spam sent to their own customers!\n\nSince they get a cut, a "piece of the action", they do not have the strongest incentive to get rid of spam anymore.\n\nLobbiests helped write this law. The actual recipients cannot sue, so it is obvious that the US public did not draft the law.  It gives them no recourse and no compensation.\n\nThe US Congress's CAN-SPAM also had the effect of revoking state laws against spam that actually had some teeth in them.\n\nA very recent study found that the amount of email spam that was actually complying with the CAN-SPAM guidelines for identifying adult email and letting users actually "opt-out" of receiving it was at something like 0.27%, down from 0.3%.\n\nIn other words, practically none complies and obviously no one is stopping the over 99.7% of illegally spam.\n\nAt the time the bill was becoming law, it was thought that the term "can" meant get rid of or cancel.  Now, it seems more that the term "can" as in "package for mass distribution" is more fitting and perhaps what the drafters/sponsors of the bill meant.\n\nI wish there was a better word than "Spam" to describe this abhorrent practice.\n\nI hardly feel like "devouring" all these unsoclicited marketing messages I get by phone and email.\n\nPlus, if I start receiving any on my cell phone - and thus have to pay to listen to them - I am really going to get steamed at these guys!\n\nI have included links to:  the maker's website, the official and unofficial spam sites, the Wikipedia pages about electronic spam and about the highly inneffective CAN-SPAM law that the US Congress passed.\n\nHopefully, the next Congress will replace this disingenuous law with one that helps The People, and not select commercial interest, and actually stops spammers from spamming, which is what was claimed CAN-SPAM would do.\n\nFor that to actually happen, depends upon how you vote\n\nA Congress in the pocket of big, commercial interest lobbiests is not going to want to stop you from receiving barrages of unwanted commercial email and adware.  Not if there is money to be made by doing it, which there is.\n\nThere you have it.  That is what spam is, why it is, where the term comes from, what you can do about it, and why you get so much of it every day in your email box.

For computers/email:\n'Spamming' means sending a lot of emails to people who didn't ask for them; it's used mostly by advertisers and to spread viruses.\n\n("Spam" is also a brand of processed, canned meat - similar to ham.  There's plenty of debate about when & why people started using 'spam' for mass emails.)

Spam is part of having email. It will happen. It's not that hard to hit the delete button. Sure, it's annoying...but just delete them. Spamblocker does help, but it only catches about 75% of mine. But I'd rather delete 10-12 emails a day than 50. Antvirus has nothing to do with spam. Unless you open infected files. Don't even open spam (mine is set to view the content without opening it). Just delete it. McAfee is pretty good on antivirus and firewall, but I used a trial on their spamblobker. It sucks. It was more of a pain to go sort through that crap. It rather just hit delete.

You can mark each peice of spam as spam and eventually won't get those.  You have to remember spam people make money by getting it to your inbox so they are working everything they can to make sure they bypass the spam guards.  \n\nSpam Guards are always playing catch up and always will.  Its the name of the game.  Sorry we are all dealing with this.  I have set up my company and pay 2.25 per email box to block spam and still it gets threw every now and then.
