I keep wondering when they are going to realize that spam does not work. I never even see the stuff. My filter trashes it without my ever seeing it. It never makes it to my computer. Surely most puter users have a filter by now. Why are people dumping money into spam? Talk about a mystery?! Surely they have a complete list of all the porn junkies extant. Why send all this other crap out to a filter program to be dumped? It's so stupid!

MERCY WROTE: "Why send all this other crap out to a filter program to be dumped? It's so stupid!"

I filter out SOME---a VERY SMALL amount---via Earthlink's Spaminator. AT LEAST 75-80% of the emails that still come through are ALSO SPAM!!!

It is so bad, I am afraid to even download email into my computer again. I read it ALL via mail2web so I don't have ANY come to my computer directly. The ONE and ONLY time I allowed email into my computer, I have had computer problems EVER SINCE. See my post #26 for the rest of the story.

PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE...enlighten us as to HOW you keep virtually all the SPAM you receive filtered out. What software do you use? I want to get my life back. SPAM has cost me WEEKS and WEEKS of time trying to get control of my computer and Norton Internet Security Pro software again.
