With this free program:-
was recommended to me by an expert in pc safety.

Click the "see how it works" link in red.
It's not a spam - blocker, it actively fights back, looksgood to me.
I am a little confused. As per usual. He he. I visited the site and it says it is a free download. Fair play. But when I clicked on the 'See how it works' link, it sems to be describing athing called 'MartianFly'. And a screen shot of it says it costs $39. Are These two separate programs, or is Blue frog a watered down version of Martian fly? Or what or something?

WILL YOU BE ABLE TO BLOCK THE SPAMMERS WHO THEY HAVE DECIDED ARE SPAM FRIENDLY?
They have been going for a few years now and less than 500,000 emails addresses are protected!
A quick Google search leads you to www.addresses.com which has an email directory of over 400,000,000 addresses which means that less than 0.1% of email adddresses are protected.
Hardly makes a dent in the world of spam :'(
Also what would happen if everyone signed up? Would we still be spammed or would spam cease to exist?

"What would happen if everyone got it ?"
Spammers would be severely restricted, as my Irish mate used to say when he got barred from yet another pub.
Originally posted by cashthetrashOnce you download it you should get an email which you activate the program with. That's all I had to do anyway.
No surprise here I can't get it to work where is the instruction sheet telling me how to get it to work with yahoo email. It says first time you sign on to yahoo mail it is supposed to have some kind of download or something. Did a pop up blocker stop it or something?

So their AMAZING solution to fighting spam is to spam the spammers with complaints, pestering them until they get fed up with it and remove you from their mailing lists?

[They first tell them to remove you from their lists, which they are then legally obliged to do]
I hear that it's now endorsed by Mailwasher which, if you've heard of you will understand the relevance.
In fact they are including it in their latest versions of Mailwasher itself.
If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me, and the price is right.
