A study conducted by KidsGuard.com among a sample of over 66,000 children in the UK determined that kids receive an average of 1.46 pornographic e-mails each day and 10 per week. KidsGuard bases its findings on a survey of over 692,000 spam e-mail messages received by 66,063 children between October and December 2003. The study found that in addition to porn e-mails, children also receive large volumes of finance and get rich quick spam, averaging 2.39 and 1.47 respectively, per day.
