unwanted e-mails

[Allied]

Every day I get an e-mail linking me to a hard core porn site. It started a few days ago. There seems to be no way I can stop them. I have done a complete scan with AVG Spyware, AVG, Spyhunter etc., and can find nothing amiss. The e-mail addresses don't exist and they have a different persons name on them each time so I cannot block them. HELP!!!

There's absolutely nothing you can do to stop spam e-mails arriving on the server of your e-mail provider. However, you can use software, such as Mailwasher, which lets you screen mail before it's downloaded from the server to your PC.

An alternative approach to spam is to use lots of different e-mail addresses. For example, I occasionally provide an e-mail address for a AB questioner to contact me directly. I nearly always create a separate e-mail account just for that questioner.

Please see my post here for further information on both of these ways of coping with spam:

Best not to enter your e-mail address next time you're surfing porn sites.

I don't know who you are graftarian but I certainly do not surf porn sites!
Thank you for your help Buenchico, but I found 'Message Rules' in Incredimail where you can block something in the subject line which I have done. Haven't had another one since. (touch wood)
