TechSoup and Mailshell announced the third annual "Stop Spam Today!" Campaign, a nationwide effort to help nonprofits and public libraries fight spam by providing free information, resources, and tools. The campaign culminates on Dec. 14 and 15 with a 48-hour giveaway in which nonprofits and libraries can visit to order free copies of Mailshell's Anti-Spam Desktop software.

More than 100,000 copies of free anti-spam software were distributed during last year's "Stop Spam Today!" event, an increase of 33 percent over the 2003 campaign, and TechSoup expects even greater participation this year.

Qualified public libraries, U.S. nonprofits and Canadian charitable organizations that are registered with TechSoup Stock are eligible for the give-away. Organizations that are not already registered are strongly encouraged to pre-register at TechSoup Stock before Dec. 14, 2005. There is no cost to register or to participate in the program. Pre-registration will start the qualification process and will expedite order processing and delivery.

"In the recent years, nonprofits have become more knowledgeable about spam and computer security," said Rebecca Masisak, General Manager and Vice President of TechSoup Stock. "However, spammers are always at least one step ahead. And because of that, it remains vital to nonprofits to protect themselves against this continuous threat."
