I was checking my history and saw a website that I didn't visit, but I have two boys and a husband. When I tried to visit the website, it wouldn't let me view the page. I even tried to Google it, to see what it was, but could get no info. Does anyone know what fernhenna.com is? Should I be concerned that someone in my house visited this site?

Also, I have gotten over 200 enlarge your penis e-mails in the past two days. In the past, I may have gotten 2 or 3 in a week. Why the sudden increase in these e-mails? I do not respond to these e-mails ever.

Thanks!

I couldn't get to it either. Could just have been an incorrectly type address.

The increased spam could be because of a site visit or because some spammer just got your address.

I agree, it was probably a mistyped domain name.
Are the emails coming from the same email domain? If so, try blockign that domain from accessing your email.

Fernhenna is on a couple of spam blocklists. Probably a spammer site; it appears to be dead at present. However, it may be that spammers are using the email accounts associated with fernhenna to do their dirty deeds. The domain was registered 7/18/08 through Moniker Privacy Services in Pompano Beach, Florida (you can determine this through whois). How did they get your email address? Could be almost anything. I personally maintain multiple accounts, including a couple of free accounts for high-risk emails that may attract spam. Your provider may be able to block some of this spam at the server, and I'd suggest turning on spam filtering in your email client, too.
