Default SPAM - how can I get rid of?

I am inundated with spam advertising all sorts. I use Block Sender but now have 100+ entries. What else can I do to protect myself etc?

Thanks

Default SPAM - how can I get rid of?

For your new address, don't use it or enter it at untrusted sites, i.e. paying bills online is OK, but not getting lending quotes, or buying ink online, etc. Save your old address for that.

For your old account, or both, Wanadoo has an anti-spam program:

Or you can use Message Rules.

Hi:

You also might want to consider installing the free version of Mail Washer:

It's a great free program.

Another is Spampal - it checks the mail before going into your email client.
Add a rule to automatically delete emails that spampal detects as spam.
