- Abstract
- Some web sites require registration in order to use their free services. But is this really free? The goal of this paper is to describe an experiment that was conducted to explore the relation between registering in different websites and the amount of junk emails received. The whole experiment was divided into three periods and the collected data from them was compared. The paper contains also an analysis of the results and recommendations for the users on how to avoid or at least limit the spam in their mailboxes.
