97% of emails sent are Spam: Microsoft

April 10th, 2009 by Annkur

We really love surveys and research data and here comes the latest from the BIG M itself. According to Microsoft 97% of all emails sent over the internet are SPAM. The report states that almost half of spam emails are for pharmaceutical products.

According to Symantec majority of spam now originates from US itself (28%), while the number from China has dropped to just 3%.

Last we heard from someone on this was back in July last year where the number was said to be 81%. While such a sharp rise in amount of spam over email hasn’t hit our inbox for sure. Suggestion: Microsoft – please improve your spam guard, we use Gmail :P
