Microsoft filed 15 lawsuits in the United States and the United Kingdom to stem the increasing growth of e-mail spam, or unsolicited electronic mail, the world's largest software maker said on Tuesday. "We recognize that spam is a global problem," Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith told reporters, "We are ramping up our efforts to combat spam around the world."
Smith said that Microsoft would also ramp up its efforts to protect consumers from spam using better technology such as better blocking and filtering tools, and also collaborate with other Internet businesses.
