The net is a useful tool to communicate with far-flung family. But it is becoming a VERY obnoxious occurrence that nearly every time I download e-mail and find 80 to 100% of it is unsolicited advertisements. Hundreds per week!

Most email programs (if you aren't hotmail or yahoo mail) can be configured to bounce a lot of the unwanted stuff. Even web-based mail can be read through some email programs. I use a program called mail washer to pre-screen all my mail for both viruses and unwanted junk. It also can be configured to bounce a lot of junk.
