Do not get any spam, nor pop ups since I downloaded my free copy of zone alarm! Just tell it which programs to allow access to the internet, and whammo, no pop ups. As for the email, Road Runner never gives me spam.

Moose!

Thought you'd dropped off the earth.

When you going to make a squad night?

Spam has gotten REALLY bad lately!

I work for a school system as their Network Engineer and part of my job is to take care of the E-mail and in the last 2 days I've blocked over 2000 messages and 74 virus.

Thank god for GWAVA!(spam and virus blocker for Novell networks)

Consider yourself lucky. Comcast does get spammed pretty heavily. They do block most of it but a lot still gets through. My wife's account started getting hit pretty hard the day after I created it.

most of us consider those 15 to 20 porno emails you recieve daily & are saving in your personal folder - spam
