Every so often an email with a porn heading arrives - uninvited.
I try expaining to the missus that it is a virus - and she won't believe me.
What do I do (a) with the virus (b) with the missus ? |

Hi duineuasal,
Welcome at Computercops
Porn emails are seldom due to a virus.Anyway use an updated AV to protect you againt viruses.
Have also a look at Mailwasher(scroll down the forums ) to avoid spam
for the missus it's up to you

Mailwasher.net is the best I have seen. works great.
My junk ws about 150 a day , with mailwasher it is down to about 10 or so. I have to fine tune it now. |

From what I read on the internet you might find this hard to believe, but I have never received a single porn email in 5 years online. I also have a Yahoo! email account.

It's not so easy, I have been trying for over 32 years and she always comes home.
