you need a spam filter....does your ISP provide one? Check and see. There
are e-mail address that do. Anymore people set up with spam filter systems
thru sites that require incoming mail to be " acknowledged" by their system
so they send out requests you " join" to be recognized by their mail...
All that other stuff is for spyware.

Hi,
I have another question, lately I seem to be getting more spam on this email
account than usual. I use spyware blaster, spybot S and destroy, zone
alarm, symantecs antivirus and clean up for temp files. Is there something
I should be using for some of this junk mail. This week I got three from
paypal security which I deleted and told my email to block the address.
Thanks
christy
