Hi, I keep getting emails with the subject 'Presciption Medicines Available' or some variation of that. I have never purchased medicines online so do not know why this email Any suggestions on what I can do to stop this SPAM. It really floods my inbox. Thanks RJ

I've never purchased "Male Enhancement Products" either,(no,really),but I still get a ton of them in the e-mail accounts that I expose on forums such as this and having to register at one site or the other. I get NO spam in my Hotmail account,for example,because I don't make that that addy "public knowledge". Don't open them whatsoever,as that usually flags you as a valid e-mail addy.They might offer an unsubscribe link,but that can't always be trusted either. What e-mail client are you using,and can't you add it to a "block senders" list,or something?

TheKid is a regular customer of Male enhancement Products, hence he doesn't mind the offers every now and then :O. LMAO! (Only kidding) Seriously rvachha, I think you gave away your email addy to a different subscription site for games, Movie reviews etc and are now on other mailing lists. Although they're not harmful, I recommend switching the spam filters and bulk email filters ON if you're using hotmail. Otherwise block them like TheKid says, but then again most of them spoof the sender address anway. :S

You know, on the subject of spam, I find it funny that I get no spam whatsoever, I'm serious, lol. I've signed up with my addy at different sites and I've maybe had 3-4 e-mails I didn't ask for in about a year period. Either I am very lucky, or my ISP has some nice filters :-) On the flip side of that, I've used my Yahoo addy possibly 3 times in the 6 months I've kept it (It was made for such a purpose as keeping my real addy private) and I cleaned it out for the first time in a few days--------340 spam e-mails. Hopefully I'll never have to add an e-mail filter to my program list, knock on wood.

Do you receive your e-mail in Outlook Express? If so, there are Message Rules that one can establish to preclude the receipt of unsolicited commercial e-mail.

What so ever you get or not, is easily destroyed today if you have the softs needed and required for that. 1) A good firewall 2) A good anti-cookie program 3) A good anti- spyware-malware program You have read in this forum already a lot about it...

No junk e-mail on Hotmail?? How did you do that. I opened a Hotmail account and sent myself one e-mail at my ISP e-mail address. The next day the hotmail account had 25 SPAM. It now gets about a hundred a day, and I have never given that e-mail address to any one or used it any where, other than one e-mail to myself and another back to that account just to test it. New Cable IPS e-mail address has been used a lot of places and have only received a few SPAM in six months. So go figure. One trick being used to get your e-mail address is the "JOKE of the DAY" web sites. A friend forwarded me one of these one day and I opened it and read it. Four hours later I started getting Herb AD's. So I went back and looked at the source code of the e-mail. I found where it addressed a web site by IP address to pick up a GIF file, and this site dropped a cookie with information on the e-mail text. It contained all the header information including the e-mail addresses. It then accessed a second web site by IP address with a single pixel window, that allowed this second web site to read the cookie and all the e-mail addresses in the cookie/e-mail header. The cookie was set to expire that day, so it would go away leaving no trace. I was able to access the web site by its IP addresses, and there was all the "Jokes of the Day" files, software modules and even the sets of daily e-mail lists. About 25,000 e-mail addresses in each days list. Also in different directories I found all the GIF files for the herb and other AD SPAM. I only had read access to the site and its files, but I found my e-mail address in one of their files. Before that one Joke of the Day e-mail I had received very little SPAM, dispite using my dial-up e-mail address for five years. From that day I have received tens and now hundreds per day on that e-mail account. So thanks alot to your friends who forward you Jokes and chain letters that have hidden HTML in them that access web sites and track the spread of the "Joke is on You". What can you do about it. Not much. Change you e-mail account and don't give it out to anyone. Or set up so you can download all your e-mail and then disconnect from the Internet before you open any of it.
