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 ? Crying or Very sad

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 Wink

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. Crying or Very sad
