Spam Mail
 
Has anybody noticed an influx of spam mail recently, over the last few days I've been getting spam from loads of different companies in. selling Watches, life cover, and from credit union score, national accident helpline, pro video gamers, accident advice line and more. Its not as if I've changed my Internet usage, over the last month I've on been on here BW and Youtube, is anybody else got an increase in Spam?

Can't say I have, could it be that you have recently been in more regular contact with your libido?
Therefore you would be giving your email address to a few extra iffy porn sites?

Some body is skimming addresses from Facebook & other such sites, and selling them. Several have come to me as Retlaw Semloh, when my daughter put that name on Face Book, when it should have ben Semloh Retlaw.

That is a crazy amount. Who do you use for your email, you might want to think about changing something to reduce that.

Pop ups are a think of the past, must be 5 years since I had one, certainly never since I changed to Broadband

Well I had another 14 this morning some repeats from other days but a few completely new ones

When I used Outlook Express for mail, I too had a 'junk overload' problem.
I downloaded a spam filter, but that very soon filled up, and never really cured the problem.

I reverted to web mail - problem solved.
Your ISP filters out junk before it reaches you.
