Overview

The Internet and email has become a communications bonanza, allowing people to socialize, do business, shop, and enhance their education just about anywhere there is a computer. As convenient as all this communication is, it also creates piles of electronic clutter that accumulate on your computer, creating a blizzard of overstuffed files, annoying spam, and pop-ups, and making you vulnerable to dangerous hackers and viruses. Degunking Your Email, Spam, and Viruses is organized according to a special cleaning process and written in everyday language that is designed for all computer users. With our unique 12-step Degunking program, you'll learn all the tried-and-true techniques to keep your computer clutter-free of spam and viruses and running well. The unique Degunking with Time Limitations chart shows how you can improve your computer's performance and keep your email better organized, regardless of whether you have ten minutes or a few hours. This book also provides information and links to free utilities and programs that will help you get rid of viruses, manage your email better, and protect your computer.

Duntemann, co-author of the bestselling book "Degunking Windows," shows readers how to keep annoying email clutter at bay, how to quickly organize email so they can find what they need, how to eradicate and prevent spam and pop-ups, how to protect yourself from Internet scams, hackers, and dangerous viruses, and much more.

The Barnes & Noble Review
Here’s a 12-step plan for putting you back in charge of your own email -- not all those faceless scammers, phishers, and virus artists who’ve been driving you nuts.

Jeff Duntemann starts by helping you come up with new strategies for working with email that fit you personally. (For instance, which email software should you use? Are some addresses more spam-resistant?) Then, it’s on to systematically cleaning out spam and keeping it from collecting; and using technology to protect you 24x7.

Along the way, Duntemann points you to plenty of great tools, some of them entirely free. Another nice touch: a chart offering practical priorities for degunking your email, even if you only have a few spare minutes. Bill Camarda, from the December 2004 Read Only
