klingon 10 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 US - 23,233 Brazil - 15,856 Italy - 15,610 Mexico - 12,229 UK - 11,965 Australia - 9,214 The Netherlands - 6,378 Spain - 5,419 France - 2,597 Germany - 2,331 Surfing the web unprotected will leave the average web user with 70 spam messages each day, according to an experiment by security firm McAfee. It invited 50 people from around the world, including five from the UK, to surf without spam filters. The experiment revealed that UK residents are most likely to be targeted by the infamous Nigerian e-mails and "adult" spam. One UK participant received 5,414 spam e-mails during the month-long trial. But the US still tops the global spam league. Participants in the US received a total of 23,233 spam e-mails during the course of the experiment compared to 15,856 for the second most spammed country - Brazil. In the UK, the five participants racked up 11,965 spam messages during the course of the experiment. Germany attracted the least spam, with just 2,331 junk messages. here Link to post Share on other sites
