Buy Norton Anti virus Internet package. It stops the lot Spam, viruses, Pop-ups and it also does net nannying.
The best thing I have ever bought. I did start getting a lot of junk sent to me before.
Those pop up things used to drive me mad!!

Well Keelie I think you could be on to something.
We have also been getting very offensive and explicit e-mails. It caused us a great deal of anxiety as our kids had a habit of rushing to the computer when they heard the e-mail notifier and announcing who it was from.
Because of this we have had to buy a program called MailWasher Pro. Not only does it allow you to screen your e-mails before opening them but it also bounces offensive e-mails back to the sender claiming that you do not exist.
It's a shame we have to go to these lengths but that’s the world we live in.
What can you do?
