I am receiving heaps of junk mail - everything from Software to Viagra to Offers of Free Laptops. I have run Spybot and Adware, and also tried blocking these senders but the rubbish still keeps coming.

Can anyone please explain if there is anything I can do to stop this avalanche of unwanted intrusive offers.

I am using Outlook Express

Thanks a lot

You've probably ended up on a list somehow--probably from a soul-sucking registration you did some time ago. :)

The quick solution is just to change your e-mail address, and be really really careful with it.

Most decent e-mail clients that allows you to search the body of a message for specific words and then delete it if they are found. So you could set up a filter that automatically deletes any e-mail with the text "buy viagra" somewhere in the body.

In fact, I think even outlook-express can do this. I'd still recommend against using it though. :)

Go to www.spaminspector.com and download the free trial software. I guarantee you that you will purchase the program inside of the first 3 days of using it. It costs $29.95 but you can get it for $10.00 less if you put in the discount code from their website. It will stop better than 90% of all email spam. I've been using it for about a year and it is worth twice what they are charging for it. I recommend it to all of my customers and they LOVE ME for it!
