Did you know viruses and e-mail worms can run automatically just by reading your e-mail? What about links called web bugs that automatically confirm you have a valid address as soon as you preview your e-mail? If this happens, you have a good chance that some marketing company will start sending you lots of spam because they know your address works!
A recent study showed that up to 83% of spam e-mail contains these web bug tracking codes, and as soon as these e-mail were read, more spam started flowing. Benign can ensure your privacy, by removing both known and probable web bugs.
