Until a few weeks ago I have never been troubled with Spam e-mails. I have Norton and have always assumed that is why I don't get any. However, over the past few weeks I have gradually received an ever increasing number. They started with how to make money ones and a couple of Viagra ones but the last few days have been awful. I am now getting some really obcene ones about young people and what they are supposedly getting up to. I obviously delete them and put the sender in my blocked list but still they are coming. Could someone please advise me how to stop them - I'm desperate. Chrissie x

Every time you log into a new site you will be sending you address and people will use this.If you keep sending them to junk this will help.Clear your cookies once in a while is good too.We all get them but msn are good at clearing most...Go carefull what sites you go on as i by accident opened a site that ended up porn and i got thousands.Good luck..Jay

I used to get loads, mainly randomly generated addresses but including mine........I reported them to aol SPAM and eventually they stopped........coincidentaly after I started Running Mcafee........Bob

Thanks Jay (and Carol) Could I be a nuisance and ask how to clear cookies. I have done it before but can't remember where to find it. Chrissie

Thanks Bob. The odd thing is that I NEVER got any until mid Sept. It was after I had a problem and couldn't get into GR. I wonder if it was any of the things that GR suggested I did that caused the problem. Can't remember what they were now though.

Chrissie, download C.cleaner, its free and its very good at getting rid of cookies you just run it each time you are ready to come off the puter Barbara..

Thanks Barbara:) I have found the cookie thing and deleted them and temporary files. Suddenly remembered that I have done quite a bit of Googling lately. Think that may be the reason. Chrissie x
