Unfortunately, it appears that the spammers have found your e-mail address. I can think of three things you can do.





1) Change your e-mail address. This is a real pain because you have to notify everyone that you want to have your correct address of the change.


2) Use some sort of SPAM filtering. This is a good idea anyway. Many ISPs offer this. It may take a bit to get the filter set the way you like it, but in the long run it's worth it.


3) Live with the problem.

Reply:Amy,





Was that one of those free spyware programs you downloaded off the internet?





If it was, probably, it is nothing more than a spambot and you will get inundated with garbage.





You need to remove it ASAP. Probably you should use Norton to do it since it can be difficult.
Reply:Not much you can but filter all the junk email out of your inbox.


In the future when you get a spam do not click on any links that say to unsubscribe from their mailing list. When you click on those unsubscribe links that is what helps the spammers know they hit a active email address and then they will send more spam.

As the computer is booting press your "F8 Key" repeatly which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" . Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.
