Hi, Here is my suggestions on this topic. I too was getting much spam and it has now almost gone away. The 5th bank and others are just phishing emails and you definately do not want to respond to them or any email. This only confirms they have a valid account. 1. If you are using outlook or outlook express try using a message rule for the spam. Creating a block senders list is futile. They change addresses all the time as someone else pointed out. 2. If using an online email service use the "this is spam" option. 3. Notify your ISP about the amount of spam you are getting and see if they can help withthe matter. 4. Never forget where the delete key is and use it much. Eventually it might decline. Hope this helps. rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy and Tom Hi All. I've started getting lots of spam too! I'm not sure why. I've tried blocking the addresses, but I still keep getting messages. I'm using Jaws 8, Windows XP Home, Spy Blaster, and Adaware. Is there anything else I can do? Kathy
