I’m deluged with spam advertising “penis enlargement”. The weird part is that I don’t have one of those appendages. And I don’t visit porn sites either.

You don't have to--sounds like they're visting *you*.

Cheers!

They flood the email ISP; thus, you get the emails.

I use Mailwasher to preview all ISP email before I ever open any.

Single email address version is free for home use.

I use ePrompter to preview email at Yahoo and Gmail. It is free/donationware for home use.

What virus checking/adware programs do you use?

I recently changed from AVG to Avast, as it runs more smoothly on my computer. AVG became glutware, sadly. Both AVG and Avast will do incoming and outgoing email scans.

If your email address is [first initial] + [last name] + @ + [email provider's name] + .com you probably do.

Throw in some numbers or random letters and you'll get a lot less of that spam.

Provided you never post your email address online.
