peterg Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 we use McAfee anti-virus and their Desktop Firewall but then my wife does work for them (ahem....) anyway, I use MS Hotmail for some personal email and have never had a spam email on that account and only ever had one on my ISP account (PlusNet) however, my wife has a LineOne email account (through Tiscali IIRC) and 80% of her emails on there are spam so it seems not all providers are doing their jobs properly!! MS have advice for dealing with Messenger/Hotmail spam here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I have Zone Alarm, Free Surf, AdAware and use Yahoo for my personal e-mail (Windows 98). The only time I get any problem whatsoever with pop-ups is when I am connected to KaZaA. Very little spam, either (I get the Nigerian bloke at work, though!

Nick A Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 The only time I get any problem whatsoever with pop-ups is when I am connected to KaZaA. are you using kazaa or kazaa lite ? kazaa is full of spyware kazaa lite is not stops a lot of that I also asked about pop up stoppers a few weeks ago (have not searched for it) but didn't get that many replys I use pop up stopper and it works but messes with the browser a little bit intermitantly. what operating system are you using because xp has a built in firewall but it not always turned on from new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
