We've got to the point with our email that it takes an hour or so to download them all, even though 90% of them get deleted straight away by the filters. It's very boring, and I think we'll end up having to change email address

I'm not the only one who gets these then. I dont open them either. How do I stop them must have put my details on something cos suddenly I have hundreds

And another thing, when I wrote Layla-Belle on that last post, it left it, but if I write my daughter's straightforward name, Rebecca, it gets a red line underneath.

Have a look for GHOSTSURF, I got mine as a freeby with a computer mag some years ago, you switch it on and you become invisible and after a while the spam drops away to virtually nothing I am with orange and also use the e mail account on the home page which filters out most of the rubbish before it get into my inbox.

Thanks for that Paul - will have a look. I'm sick and fed up of getting various viagra emails, and emails for any person whose first name is bernadette!
(My name when I'm being told off/I've done something wrong! LOL!) Bernie

Madderbat's E-mail record for one day 512.

Gets 100+ every day.

Sounds like AOL is good for SOMETHING. These days I get about 10 spam-mails a week (9 of them in the spam box).......

'You too could help the fight against terrorism'

Layla-Belle, you should be honoured (or maybe honored?), the great US of A is noticing you, drawing you into its loud and brash embrace.

Before you know it, you won't have a U to your keyboard, all your double Ls will be cut in half and you'll start to talk real good.

Or to put it another way, UNCLE SPAM wants YOU.

Gee, I already thought I talked real good, though it's gotten better since I've gotten all those e-mails. Think I might apply to be a Federal Agent, but only if they let me work with Agent Mulder - of course he's real, he's on T.V. ain't he?
You folks all have a nice day now.

Got up this morning to be told off by OH - apparently all my anti-virus and anti-histahistamine, etc etc etc things weren't working.....no wonder I got viagra emails for the world! And um,er, it was my fault!.......................I just log on and get on with it, never touched owt on pc, wouldnt know how to. Strange thing is, still got a few odd emails - shall blast them into outer space and hope this does the trick.
