Spot that spammer

Quiz tests consumers' ability to identify spam causing sites.

Last month, McAfee invited web users to spot the undesirable website, in an eight-question quiz entitled: 'Can you spot sites that cause spam?' The quiz presents consumers with pairs of websites, providing a screenshot of the home page plus details of the privacy policy of each, and asks contestants to judge which site in each pair 'respects email privacy'. On obtaining a low score in the test, the consumer is told 'Watch out! Your inbox might explode!' (which seems a little severe) - and of course, advised to purchase McAfee SiteAdvisor. The quiz is available at http://www.mcafee.com/spamquiz/.
