I heard that it is the Bad Cookies that get your email so you get all the spam. I sure get loads of spam and about half of it is nasty pictures. I don't want the grandkids to see this stuff. That is why I got the Ad-aware.

I changed ISPs a few months ago, and my new one has a spam filter, and it works.

There are programs that will dump unwanted email into the trash. They will allow you to filter out unwanted words in the subject line. I was getting tired of ads that promised me that my penis would grow by two inches (i.e., double in size :)) if I clicked on their ad. I just told the program to take any email that had the word "penis" in it and remove it. The ad, that is, not the penis. That type of service might be available from LorenaBobbitt.com, but I digress. I've also removed references to the female anatomy, and key words like "mortgage" "loan" "debt" and all the others. I did get an interesting proposal from an African potentate who needs twenty grand from me in order to release millions from his country. I'm thinking that one over.
