First, never open this kind of e-mail if you know what's good for your PC. If you have, use an anti-virus software like McAffee or Norton to scan your PC for possible viruses. After virus scanning, perform an additional scan with anti-spyware software such as Ad-Aware or SpySweeper. Finally, if you don't want to receive such e-mail again, report it as spam. If you are using yahoo mail, you can do it by clicking the checkbox on the left of the unwanted e-mail and clicking "spam" button. At the very least the spam you receive will be placed in the "bulk" folder and not in the same folder as your other mail.
Hope this helps.

It's not that you visit sites like that, they must have gotten your email address from somewhere (it could be from some site you registered on and gave your email address and they gave it to others, even if selling email addresses of your customers is illegal)
Use a different account to register on websites and one for your regular email.

Don't open it, just automatically send it to spam or hit the delete button. All of us get the spam.

if you sign up for anything online you're essentially giving them the right to sell your email address to other companies
