oh! sorry - I thought that since you said you couldn't close them, that you had opened them. I'm not sure how an unopened e-mail sets off pop ups - is it the pop ups you can't close? spammers are getting more sophisticated - do you have xp? If you do, do you have the messenger service disabled? crisS ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 10:19 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Emails that annoy I don't open questionable email or attachments! I have been on the Internet for over 5 years without any virus or trojans infecting my computer. I don't visit questionable sites. I just ran adaware -- only 7 cookies were questionable -- all from something call fastclick-- they were deleted and could have come from these two annoying emails I've had in the last 2 weeks. All I AM asking is if anyone else has had these type of emails? And if they have, how did they get rid of them without having to reboot. I have OE 6. Judith <snip> I have not had this problem, but I wouldn't open an e-mail that didn't come from someone that I knew or recognized. If I have doubts about who sent it - if it is legit or not, I will look at properties and the source 1st, before opening it. It's a shame opening our personal e-mail has come to this!
