You can check your PC's potential vulnerability to hacking attacks using the Shields Up on-line test. If you get worried by the results, then the ZoneAlarm (free) personal firewall is well worth installing.
OK unsolicited mail, phone calls, faxes, emails are annoying but you can do something to reduce the number you get. Visit these websites for the opportunity to opt out. Oh, and never, ever click on an "unsubscribe" link in a spam email - it will only generate more spam.
There are many unscrupulous and often criminal organisations out there trying to trick the unwary. The organisations listed below have all made unsolicited contact with me at one time or other, despite repeated requests to stop. I have no evidence that they are actually engaged in any illegal activities, but I strongly suspect they do not have my (or your) best interests at heart. If in doubt, take their contact details and do a thorough web search to check their credentials before doing any business with them. Always remember if it seems to good to be true, then it probably isn't, and always engage "common sense" filter.
