Enough nuisanceware!(The Dallas Morning News)
Byline: Doug Bedell
It's bad enough that e-mail users must wade through endless batches of offensive spam, Nigerian financial scams and "phishing" attempts to steal their passwords and credit card numbers.
Now messages from well-intended software programs are causing confusion and frustration. Most notable are services such as Plaxo, AccuCard and PlanetID, which ask you to update your information in someone else's electronic address book.
Not far behind are messages from anti-virus programs that accuse you of sending virus-infected e-mail to some stranger. And then there's the e-mail loop, resulting in thousands of messages informing you that the other party is out of town or on vacation.
Here's a look at e-mail "nuisanceware" and suggestions for escaping the assaults.
