If a person repeatedly telephoned me and said the things that they say on spam email for internet pornography sites, they'd be jailed. Why should it be okay to say these things to me in email?

They have a telezapper for the phone, a fire for the junk mail, can they come up with a email-zapper for the spamming?
By the way, Welcome to FR. Enjoy the search function. This has to be a record for me, replying to a 3 year old post.

Well Thank you PJ,
but my experience with McAfee is that they also have software programs which cause computers to misfire and are just as dangerous to use in my personal opinion.
Glad I helped break an all time record for you.
I am presently doing some research for a paper on spyware and advertising methods on the internet. I find it an aweful shame that the consumer needs to protect themselves against marketing companies and their malicious spyware programs which install themselves without the users knowledge.
I personally have used Adawre and Spybot for these adware programs. Yet I do not find that paying for a software program is any mroe effective. Since most computers come with some form of spyware installed before people even buy them it is almost essentail to arm a computer with removal tools.
I find it better to get a free one that is not aiming to gain from the use is far better and less likely that you will find another spyware program installed from a major company such as norton and mcafee..after all they are looking for more sales too.. using 2 like adaware and spybot S&D, almost guarentees that you dont have any spyware left in your computer.
Thank you for your welcome!
