i know we all get it, but usually I only get 4-8 a day, but last 2 days, i have literally received 145+ ! in the space of a few hours (when my computer was left on overnight) I have done a virus scan etc, but nothing was identified ... is there anything else I am missing? (checked, have firewall and anti virus installed & active)
I sometimes go to my ISP's 'webmail' and see emails there. Thankfully my ISP recognises a lot of spam and junks it automatically, plus I can add filters to stop others. Mailwasher is also a great help with its blacklist and will bounce unwanted emails back where they came from (sometimes sources that I used for on-line shopping!). Were it not for these 'defences' I would be getting up to 3,000 emails a week, partly due to the fact that my email address appeared on a website. Hope these comments might be of some interest to you.
no no - they were all junk (viagra/sex drugs/ etc etc) not returned mail due to being hacked. will google email address... and see ... pain in the bum as sometimes emails i do want end up going to my spam, and with 145 additions, I now have to look through all the address' to see if I recognise them. oh well ....
arrghhhh - i dont think this is it - but my email details (and mobile) come up on a google search from an ebay auction in 2004 !!!!!!! how can I get this removed?
