Research by a leading anti-spam company today reveals that Force 9 and Talk Talk
are joint top when it comes to being the most spam targeted UK ISP’s and calls
for the companies to take more action to prevent spammers.
Having now analysed over two years worth of data a leading UK anti-spam company
today releases statistics aimed at helping consumers choose which internet
service provider (ISP) is the best for them by revealing the Top Ten most
spam-targeted ISP’s .
The research revealed that a massive 95% of all emails that have gone through
the ClearMyMail anti spam system via Force 9 and Talk Talk ISP’s were either
spam or virus related and there is also a range of other well known ISP names
as shown in the list below.
www.ClearMyMail.com looked at all the
spam emails it had stopped since it first launched its software to better
understand which ISP’s are the most targeted by spam and virus email senders
and will be writing to them to share its findings and ease the spam burden on
the end users.
The company also looked at which countries produce the highest number of UK
targeted spam and America led the way with just under 50% of all rogue emails
coming from the USA.

Dan Field is the Managing Director of ClearMyMail and talking about the
research he said,
“These are some worrying statistics and I admit I was shocked when I saw some
the names in the top 10 ISP’s who seem to take little or no action when it
comes to preventing spam and even more shocked to see that the UK is still the
second biggest source of spam emails received here”.
He continued,
“There is little doubt in my mind that ISP’s, anti-spam and anti-virus
providers need to get together to see what can be done to eliminate the time
consuming and frustrating spam emails that are increasing in numbers”.
