Who gets junk mail in their e-mails? If you do, do you know how to get rid of them?

Find the latest addition of Consumer Reports. Big section on how they find you and how to avoid it. Some will still get through, but there are ways to really cut down on it. First and foremost, do not open e-mail you do not recognize. Kirk

What's consumer Reports? I usually just bang right into deleted sections.😛

A very good magazine that rates all kinds of products from cars, washing machines, computers, paints, restuarants, and everything else. Even health insurance. Subscribe. Kirk

Sigh. There are various "spam filters" on the market. They tend to try and learn what kind of messages you consider to be spam and block similar ones. One way to get one is to to use Mozilla (free - http://www.mozilla.org/) to read your email instead of outlook as it has a built in spam filter.

Perhaps Outer Mongolia is disconnected from the "real world". 🙂

These are all really good suggestions being said but the thing is my brother used to get these sort of e-mails and he asked 1 of his teachers how to get rid of them and his teacher told him how and now he hardly gets any.

You can always change your e-mail address. I know people who use 'disposable addresses' and when one gets cluttered up with junk the stop using it and move on to the next.

I don't want to change or use another cos I've already told all my friends my current address and if I told them my new 1 they'd all forget.😞

Sounds like your brother has the answer then. Why not ask him, then share it with the rest of us.

Option 1: Turn on MSN 8's highest level of filtering : All e-mail goes to the junk folder except the ones you tell it to let through.

Option 2: Use a spam filter (I know Norton has one) to do the same.

Option 3: Write a script to spam filter everything.

Option 4: Ask your brother what he did and fill us in. 😉
