What is spam ?

"Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately"

Every once in a while some spam gets through my mailbox's spam filter and is sitting for me to open.

I've never fallen victim to spammers but I know of people who have,  computer illiterates are especially prone to falling prey to these people.

So,  how do you spot a spam when the spam filters don't.

  Recently I've been working on creating a simple web interface to the Windows Media Services, The problems I've run into are various, but one of them sticks out.  Since I am doing something I've never done before and the error was new to me it resulted in some time consuming debugging and problem solving.  The error is  : 

"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {845FB959-4279-11D2-BF23-00805FBE84A6} failed due to the following error: 80070005."
