I have been getting a lot of spam lately. I use this address for everything, so it's impossible to know why I'm suddenly getting so much spam.

Hi -- A while back I put Symantec/Norton Anti Virus on my computer. Somewhere in these programs is an anti spam feature which automatically throws the garbage to a folder called Norton Anti Spam Folder. There's also a feature where you can mark an item then click on a button called "This is Spam" and it blocks the address. It's amazing how much junk is in the Anti Spam Folder, but at least I don't have to contend with it! Judy Bingham Fullerton, California

Hi Rita, I was getting the same as you mentioned below which I have copied and pasted:: And all sorts from Africa asking me to help them claim , this or that large amount of US Dollars , Which are sitting in banks all over the world, They are Driving me crazy, Until I unsubed from a particularly busy list "Palmers" and it stopped immediately. The rest of the SPAM is still coming in at an alarming rate. One in every 6 e mails is junk. Just go figure.
