I get about 15-20 not so nice kind of email in my bulk every day. I always just delete them, and never open them. I really want them to go away, any suggestions? I am afraid to open them in case of a virus or something. The computer I use is also used for my husband’s business stuff, so I really don’t want to take any chances of messing things up. any real help would be greatly appreciated.
Think about it….if we all hit ‘reply’ and and ask for more information would the spammers not be overwhelmed with emails such that they would not be able to filter their marks from the ‘reply spam’.
That is the conventional wisdom, however, I never respond to spam yet I still get tons of spam. Maybe we need to rethink that strategy?
It only seems to care if the mail comes from a known bad address, and that’s pretty easy to spoof. The virus scanner picks up the really harmful ones OK but the endless v!@gr# offers do annoy me. Any way to beef it up? It’s an office system and I’m not about to change platform…
We have Microsoft Outlook Express and recieve about 30 unsolicited messages everyday, mostly about making money.
I received an email from mailer at yahoo. Apparently my email address is being used by someone to send spam. The email noted that a firewall had detected my email as spam. The address it was sent to is unknown to me. Please help!
i keep getting 100’s of junk emails for penis enlargement pills from all over the world how do i stop this and how do they get my email address?
I want to keep the email that I’ve been using for 4 years, but I need to now block the spam that is coming in each day. I want to continue to recieve my friends and family emails. I have my own server and so I can’t benefit from yahoo, hotmail and gmail anti-spam tecnology. PLEASE HELP!
More recently, viruses have been created to steal personal data such as passwords or to create relay stations for making junk e-mail more difficult to trace.
Suddenly, though, viruses weren’t spreading as quickly. Virus writers now motivated by profit rather than notoriety are trying to stay low-key, lest their creations get detected and removed, along with their mechanism for income.
Many of the recent malicious programs technically aren’t even viruses, because they don’t self-replicate, but users can easily get infected by visiting a rogue Web site that takes advantage of any number of security vulnerabilities in computer software.
